Suez Canal blocked by container ship
Evergiven is now in dry-dock, getting ready to have a new bow installed.

Pics of the damaged bow is impressive. The amount of force and twisting of that steel in its hull is crazy

I don't get why any of that seems worrisome. That part of the bow is a hydrodynamic feature intended solely to cut drag, its not structural to the ship integrity at all. Interesting pictures none the less.
