lol, I'm not THAT clueless, I assumed most people would understand I'm not referring to a winch attached to a vehicle. I'm referring to something (for lack of finding an image with an appropriate sized winch, or even multiple on either bank, that could be transported to the site and anchored to the ground in whatever way) like this https://www.siebenhaar-antriebstechnik.com/images/2_Winch_Hafen.jpg on either bank, and then get a boat like a dredger, that has these winches on them to pull from behind https://www.siebenhaar-antriebstechnik.com/en/news/siebenhaar-delivers-winches-for-the-currently-largest-cutter-suction-dredger-of-the-world. seems like an appropriate step to take if this one ship is halting world shipping trade. also, gotta remember its mostly free-floating so the winches will not be needed to pull very hard as if it were completely land lodged, if the ass-end is mostly free floating it would seem to make sense that once that is pulled back towards the center of the canal (along with pulling from the other 2 locations I described) that the nose should eventually pull free, I know those ships have those really long protruding noses but I mean come on, it couldnt have buried itself very far-especially since those ships are slow as fuck, heavy as fuck, but slow. I would think the top speed allowed in the canal is pretty low as well
