Last night these vessels spent the night with the EVER GIVEN, then continued their journies: JOLLY QUARZO call sign ICQQ , ro/ro cargo (Now heading toward Israel) LADY HAYAT superyacht owned by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz STOLT ALM & SC MERCURY , both chemical/oil tankers APIS & ABEER K , both livestock carriers STEPHEN WALLACE DICK , has a hospital with a capacity of 52 These vessels departed south.
VERTIGO superyacht , owned by Rupert Murdoch FLYING FOX superyacht , owned by Jeff Bezos CAPE SEAGULL & SIVOTA both bulk carriers STI GALLANTRY & CLEAR STARS both crude oil carrier LIBERTY vehicle carrier INDUSTRIAL CRESCENT general cargo SULPHUR GUARDIAN chemical tanker WUCHANG bulk carrier STOLT MERCURY tanker These vessels left together to the north and are still travelling in a convoy. Most have turned off their transponders.
Yes, it happens every day. The canal is one way in many places so they all meet in the Great Bitter Lake and wait until it is their turn to continue. The Ever Given has not moved since it arrived there. It has had some very interesting vistors though.
VERTIGO & FLYING FOX heading north-west with SULPHUR GUARDIAN behind and LIBERTY, CLEAR STARS & STI GALLANTRY IN FRONT
Jolly Quarzo heading south out of the canal, just behind STEPHEN WALLACE DICK and LADY HAYAT superyacht owned by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz
Vessels entering: GREEN RIDGE and LIBERTY, both USA Vehicle carriers SAGAMORE, a US Container ship LIBERTY EAGLE, a US Cargo ship Two Marshall Island oil tankers STI GALLANTRY & CLEAR STARS These names cannot be just coincidence , surely.
The DUPUY DE LORME, French military ops, has just entered the Lake. The EVER GIVEN , VERTIGO , DREMORA , DRAGON , JOLLY QUARZO and some others remain in the lake. FLYING FOX has not updated its position for nine hours but I assume it is also there. There may be others that are not transmitting their position.
Some unusual two way traffic happening.
SERENITY is sitting near the south entry. Who owns it?? Striking superyacht belonging to a former Putin aide who died in suspicious circumstances is sold to a mystery buyer after being listed for £29million https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3565937/Serenity-superyacht-owned-Mikhail-Lesin-sells-unknown-price.html
DUPUY DE LORME a French Command, military ops, vessel has entered from the north.
YM WONDERLAND is joining the queue to enter from the north.
It may mean nothing but the Stephen Wallace Dick has entered (sorry) from the north. It is a platform supply vessel but it also has a hospital and can accommodate 52.
It's not likely to get interesting until all the non-involved vessels have passed thru, then we'll see who's left behind. Flying Fox may have turned off his transponder, he is 28 mins behind the others.
Vertigo has entered the canal.
Vertigo now surrounde by six tugs. It looks like it will enter the canal by force.
JOLLY QUARZO call sign ICQQ leading in from the north and Flying Fox owned by Jeff Bezos both heading in from the south.
S.Y. Vertigo owned by Rupert Murdoch currently near south entry surrounded by Dragon and Demora (look up meaning) and three tugs.
I don't think it's about the Ivanka article. I think it is about the fact that Krithika Varagur is in Australia.
The New York Review of Books takes a look at the doings and undoings in Krithika Varagur’s story “Pulling Down ‘the Wall of No’ on Police Reform in Minneapolis.” By contrast with the Star Tribune’s coverage of events, Varagur’s story is full of Black Lives Matter events and activists. With good reason, everyone in town is afraid of this crowd.
One other takeaway from Visagur’s article is that the state senate, under the control of a narrow Republican majority, is the sole remaining obstacle standing in the way of this crowd. That’s not the way Visagur puts it, of course, but the translation isn’t difficult.
Just a quick look and this is what I find about the author of the article.
Did you notice the part about Ivanka Trump Her body of work includes an investigation into Ivanka Trump’s clothing factory in West Java
Krithika Varagur is an award-winning American freelance journalist based in London after several years as a foreign correspondent in Indonesia. Her work focuses on religion and politics and has been published in The Guardian, The Atlantic, the Financial Times, the New York Review of Books, and more. She is currently writing her first book, on Saudi religious investments, for Columbia Global Reports. Her work has been supported by the Pulitzer Center, the International Women’s Media Foundation, International Reporting Project, the Rory Peck Trust, the Overseas Press Club, the Amtrak Writer Residency, and others. She graduated from Harvard University and is a Fulbright scholar. Her body of work includes an investigation into Ivanka Trump’s clothing factory in West Java, a report on the public caning of gay people in Aceh, a month-long reporting project on Buddhist communities in India, and a journey to the Indonesian spice island once traded for Manhattan.
Maybe it's about the journalist
What is the trophy at the right front of the desk?
There are a lot of airports too. At least three near the Great Bitter Lake.
Apparently normal. Everyday lots of vessels enter the canal from both ends and meet in the Great Bitter Lake. When both entry lanes are empty, they continue their journey until the lake is empty. One way traffic. The EverGiven has not moved.
Warship 69 is the USS Dwight D Eisenhower, aircraft carrier.
SUEZ - EMPTY !! Last out NADA (nothing) at southern end , SKY superyacht at northern end. SKY is owned by Igor Kesaev, a Russian billionaire , majority shareholder in Megapolis. Megapolis moves cigarettes , beer and softdrinks.
