IIRC, when it got stuck it was on its way to The Netherlands. Back last year, they found shipping containers in The Netherlands with makeshift torture chambers inside. No connection, I'm sure.
All shipping and all ports are very unusual right now. On the US west coast, ships have been waiting months offshore, just to unload. In China PRC, some of the largest ports have reduced their traffic by 70%, like a 24/7 busy 12-runway airport shutting down 9 of them. This messes up almost all container traffic routes, and ports, no matter what they're doing and where they're going.
Not an expert but boat a lot in FL. I’ve seen container ships docked for a couple of days off shore Port of Jacksonville. Not sure if it’s because they made it there too early, or a ship unloading is delayed and there’s no dockage space. Will leave it to ship fags, But to answer your question, I’ve seen ships anchored about 3-4 miles out for days
After it was stuffed into the banks of the Suez Canal it sat in "The Great Bitter Lake" for a few weeks which I assume was for repairs and paying off fines.
Then it sat in the Mediterranean just outside of Egypt for a couple more week before continuing on to Gibraltar and then the Netherlands.
IF and that’s a big if, there is a kinetic war with China, it’s going to start at sea. Something is going to get sunk and than the gloves come off. Perhaps Evergiven will be back in the news soon?

Yes. I remember seeing something like a dentist chair in one. Don't recall where it was discovered though.

Does this ship usually go to the same port (Qingdao, China) to pick up freight? Scheduled arrival is this Saturday the 18th.
Is it normal to anchor in the middle of the sea for long periods?
Honest questions, I'm not a sailor.

China is on the pickup route

Does this ship every actually deliver its cargo?

WTF is up with this ship.
