Oops. Must suck - at least this time it is not the US Navy screwing the pooch. Went through the Suez on the IOWA in 1988, and I can't quite see how they screwed this up. I'm picturing Austin Powers in the tunnel though.  MV #EVERGIVEN Size: 400m long / 59m wide Gross tonnage: 219,079 Capacity: 20,388 TEUs (20ft container equivalents). One of the largest container ships in operation. Massive traffic back up in Red Sea and Mediterranean ends of canal... NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | ||

That needs to be a "And you thought YOU had a bad day" meme. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Oh good gravy. AIS shows the EVER GIVEN (max draft 16.0m) stuck just below Ma'diyah; bow to stern blocking. Other shipping appears to be going around. Or trying to.

Huge company letters on the side seems like a great idea until it's visible in these type circumstances. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Yup, she's chockablocked alright.  Getting a little crowded at the entrance of the canal.  Most likely the vessel went blackship. I hate when that happens. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

She's aground. Not sure how hard she's aground, but that makes her awfully difficult to move. Hopefully when the tide is right, they'll be able to refloat her sooner rather than later. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||
