I offered a solution last night on the top of page 9 - today the ship is sailing under her own power.

Coincidence?? I think not!!

Same crew most likely. No idea about the pilots, but probably different pilots.

Noticed she appears stopped, and has two tugs attached to her side. So are they going to shadow her with tugs or is there a steering/propulsion issue..

Also possibly some limited Flooding in the ship's bow area...

“Arrangements are also being made for high-capacity pumps to reduce the water levels in the forward void space of the vessel and the bow thruster room.” Editor’s Note: We reached out to BSM and they have confirmed some water ingress i.e. flooding, limited to those spaces. No pollution or cargo damage reported at this time.

They need to inspect the vessel and evaluate for seaworthiness before allowing her to continue the voyage.

Why is she called "Ever Given" when "Evergreen" is boldly painted on her sides?

Nope. Egypt gets a lot of $$ from ships transiting. It's why they did the widening and deepening a few years ago.

^^^^^ Yup. They may enforce the speed limit more strictly, but they certainly won't restrict these vessels. Absolutely not.

Evergreen is the shipping line and the ships name is Ever Given.

This.

The majority of Evergreen's ship names begin with Ever, because this is a G-class ship, the second part of the name begins with G:

Ever Given
Ever Golden
Ever Genius
Ever Govern
Ever Gifted
