It shouldn’t come as a shocker that the people trying to remedy this are fucktarded and have no idea what actually is happening. Has anyone here ever got a car stuck? Then thought, “It’s only a little stuck”. When in reality the bulk of the car’s weight is sitting on the ground via the frame. Same general principle here. This is like using a teaspoon to dig out your car. The bulk of the weight of that ship is resting across a lot of earth, you can’t even reach. A LOT.
How to you fix this? It’s multifaceted. The ship needs to use its water buoyancy to lift itself off the ground. So the canal needs to be dyked and flooded locally, while offloading as much weight as possible, from freight to fuel to bilges, all which need vessels to capture all of that. Another system that can be employed is multiple stabilization winches anchored to land to gently tug on opposite ends to line it back up, so it doesn’t keep running aground durning the process. The shipping company can get me my $50K consultation fee at anytime.
Given the picture, it looks like the ship drove aground onto the side of the canal... that really complicates the recovery.
Just eye-balling, but they may need to raise the immediate water level by 7-8 ft. That is a lot of water. A temp coffer dam with that type of span and height is gonna take longer to install than just waiting for the proper dredge equipment.
Well, that is the “clean” way to do it. Technically, you could run water cannons/jets from the ship, tugs, auxiliary land based pumps, to rapidly erode the ground its on, just to break the ship free, but that does significant damage that would take months to properly repair and shore the canal back up. Which is probably what will ultimately happen.
I don't know if you've ever dealt with 3rd world earth moving... I suspect that at the moment the local government/authority is demanding $$$ for a study of how best to create a minimal coffer dam without disturbing the delicate ecology of the canal.
They will dick around with a half assed dam, and then somehow come up and allow your water jet/pump approach after a couple of months. The removal of the useless dam will take longer than the previous dickery by at least a month.
Yeah, when you view it through a third world lens, local governments will funnel cash directly into their pockets and dick around sending people with shovels and rope pretending to do something.
Anywho, what’s the over/under on how many local laborers drowning, because they can’t swim? While trying to free the ship and accidentally falling into the canal?
I think the captain isn't female, that's fake news. Do you have a source? I saw video of an egyptian captain being mistakenly cited as that ship's captain.
A ship got stuck sideways in the Suez canal (one of the world's largest container ships). It's a #1 economic news headline.
That's a photo of them trying to dig a hole so the boat can refloat. They're dredging the canal and shore to try and get it free. The current estimate is that they're going to have to take containers off the boat to lighten it, a process that could take weeks.
All trade between Asia and Europe is pretty much ****ed until this is fixed.
The additional fuel costs of going around are actually more than the loitering costs of waiting for most of the shippers for quite a long time.
The real issue is that the equipment necessary to deal quickly with this type of problem at this type of scale takes days or weeks to load onto the transport... which then takes weeks to move to Egypt, then takes weeks to actually fix the boat.
Ever been to that part of the world? I guarantee you all the other ships have been leaning on their horns for days. That's how they clear traffic jams over there. The horn is used as a brake, flasher, windshield wiper, cigarette lighter, and climate control.
Are they preparing for the food shortages in Q3 or is this one of those propaganda actions to motivate that 4 track railroad between Europe and China, to make Europe even more depending on China.
Tracks that can also be used by Russia to invade Europe, which the dems will cry about every day in order to provoke war with Russia, all to weaken both the US and Russia so that China gets even more power and control.
This+ the fact the Captain drew a dick and balls with her GPS data=100% a planned event. There was even an article talking about this being the “worst case scenario” and two days later it happened...
Wish I had a link to the video from this morning. Another facet of the Great Reset, they want food fuel and supply shortages worldwide
Losing Billions per day, send one excavator lol
This is a bizarre story.

No man, crank the steering wheel the other way and floor it!

Is this the stranded ship in the Suez? With the female captain?
I think the captain isn't female, that's fake news. Do you have a source? I saw video of an egyptian captain being mistakenly cited as that ship's captain.
It was a blurb on the internet’s. I’ll see if I can find it again
Will this affect my ability to purchase shoddy, communist made throwaway items? How will China survive?
The Suez carries about 50-60% of the trade between Europe and Asia. Lots of oil.
Europe is about to see gas prices go Hunter Biden levels of retarded.
Well we wuz gonna build that pipeline...
?

They will have to go around, like they have before. Even this ship would have had to go around a few years ago, before they widened the canal.
The additional fuel costs of going around are actually more than the loitering costs of waiting for most of the shippers for quite a long time.

Countdown to world oil crisis....
Welp... Guess I'm not getting a PS5 any time soon.
Man, this picture. It really illustrates the size of the barge and they borrowed one digger from Lilliput.
OSHA approved.

You'd think they'd just get a few million Africans out there with shovels.
Oh and do they have a license for that excavator?
Shovels and snorkels.
Wait, boats can drive on land? Since the fuck when?
Anything is possible when you are living in a South Park episode.
Might be cheaper just to blow the thing up and remove it piece by piece
Unload, pump, fill it with a fucking blimp filled with Helium... and pull like a SOB.
Gives me an idea. Truck over every Caterpillar D11 and D10 within 1000 miles. Get long chains. Pull.
To whom do I submit my proposal to send me over there to pull on it myself?
Don’t worry there are 80 million dominion excavators digging on the other side. Don’t go around and look just believe me.
Fuck, look at the pileup: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:32.4/centery:30.7/zoom:9

I'd say Q3 food shortages looking at my Leaked Email from the Canadian Report website lol
That Great Bitter Lake is about to get salty!
The only solution is :UNLOAD AND TUGBOATS:
