The Ever Given, that massive cargo ship that ran aground in the Suez Canal, is still stuck.
The world has had a bit of a laugh about it — the flow of memes has been steady — but the blockage of one of the world's most important shipping channels for close to three days is causing some very big, very expensive problems.
Authorities have been doing their best to dislodge the huge vessel, but so far have had no luck in refloating the ship.
That's a problem for the ship's owners and the people waiting on the cargo on board, but it's also causing significant flow-on effects with well over 100 other ships waiting idly to get through and deliver goods around the world.
Here's what we know so far about the next steps to free the Ever Given and clear the channel.
Catch me up — what's happening in the Suez Canal?

• A cargo ship called the Ever Given (no, it's not called the Evergreen) ran aground in the Suez Canal on Tuesday and got stuck diagonally across it
• The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea and is a crucial route from Europe to the Indian and western Pacific oceans
• The Ever Given has cut access in the middle of the waterway
• Crews have had no luck in dislodging it so far
• About 150 ships are in limbo either along the canal or at either end of it, waiting to get through

More than 150 other ships (shown here as yellow and orange dots) are waiting for the Ever Given (in the red square) to get out of their way.(

)What have they tried so far to move the Ever Given?
So far, backhoes and tug boats have tried to dislodge the Ever Given from its sandy shackles — to no avail.
Some pretty spectacular images have emerged of the sheer size of the task these machines are up against:

Small vessels were able to maneuver around the stranded Ever Given at first, but traffic has since been suspended while tug boats do their thing.(

Bit of a David-and-Goliath situation going on here.(

)
Most of the attempts have been made at high tide to give the ship the best chance of refloating, but so far, no luck.
How did the Ever Given get stuck?
Authorities are still trying to work this out, because it's certainly not an everyday occurrence — in fact, a blockage of this kind and to this scale has never happened in the canal's 150-year history.
The Ever Given entered the canal from the Red Sea on Tuesday morning local time, and ran aground about 45 minutes later.
Officials originally said the ship was impacted by strong winds, with later reports also citing a dust storm which could have affected visibility.

YOUTUBETime lapse of Ever Given refloating
An initial report suggested the ship suffered a power blackout before the incident, but the ship's technical manager denied those claims and ruled out "any mechanical or engine failure as a cause of the grounding".
Marine cargo lawyer Ian Woods says the grounding probably occurred due to a "combination of factors", but a full investigation into the incident is expected.
How else can they try to free the ship from the canal?
The technical manager of the Ever Given, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, said in a statement that dredging to remove sand and m&d is the main priority at the moment.
"In addition to the dredgers already on site, a specialised suction dredger is now with the vessel and will shortly begin work," the statement released on Thursday read.

"This dredger can shift 2,000 cubic metres of material every hour."

After that, it sounds like the next step will be to remove some cargo from the ship in an attempt to make it lighter.
The ship weighs around 220,000 tons and as attempts to dislodge it continue to fail, the team says it may have to remove at least some of the ship’s containers and drain the vessel of the water serving as ballast to make progress.
From there, more dredging will be needed before tug boats return and (hopefully) nudge the ship out of the hole it has driven in the sand.

Here's what's likely coming next in the process of removing the Ever Given from the Suez Canal.(

)
You can hear the faint calls of "why didn't they do that in the first place", right?
Well, an Egyptian official told media earlier in the week that workers were hoping to avoid that scenario because getting everything off the ship could take weeks.
A team of experts who specialise in responding to boat-related disasters arrived from the Netherlands on Thursday to join the refloatation efforts.
But Peter Berdowski, the CEO of the company leading the efforts to free the ship, Boskalis, says there's a chance it could take weeks to move the vessel.

Are the Ever Given crew OK?
As far as we know, they are.
Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement confirmed the 25 crew on board, all Indian nationals, were safe and accounted for.
The crew are still on board the vessel, and are helping to get the ship floating again.
We haven't heard much yet from crews on the other boats affected by the incident about what this means for them.

But no harm at all if they are faked like real...

Something is not right the way it got lodged onto the embankment. Sometimes. Captains a chief officers get lazy and allow lower officers to steer the vessel. If there was a strong headwind i believe ship computers would steer vessel to accommodate the divergence. Just my thoughts. Anyway, this is a insurance problem now.
Company got free publicity. Indian crews snd officers are tarnished.

Serves these companies right by hiring cheap,,,and one other point,,,u said the computers etc will correct the vessel,,,this is no longer like in the old days where it is manual steer,,,so how can this shit happen? blame the computer?

There is another thing. The crew manning agencies could be in cahoots with company HR department. Same as in construction. Kickbacks, entertainment blah blah! Normally owner will insist on their officers on board plus chief engineer. If norwegian, norwegian captain and chief engineer. But i suppose japanese shipowner subcon management to india company. Maybe.

 

[Loofydralb]

I have absolute confidence the crew was paid to do it. Knock on effects and trading on future incidences can reap billions.

In general,,,,the Nips will also want their own ppl in charge,,that why in Nip companies u see mgt etc are all Nips,,,they wont outsource 100%,,,and actually a ships captain etc is a good job,,,but some ppl cant tahan bcos of family etc,..I look at it another way,,I will do it when I am single,,,and put a time frame,,,than retire or go take up on shore roles,,,those jobs,,,get the pay work 10 years can retire,,,I wont pray pray,,,and now look,,,,ah nehs 100% control and this cock up,,,company deserved to be burnt down and the crew hanged in public with piano wires,,,the damage done to the world economy is worst,,,,thanks to them,,,

Good point Syed. For big ocean going vessels, there's usually shift work to man and guard the vessel. We call it the watch officer or OOW. As navigation of the vessel and the engine rooms need to be manned 24 hrs, watch duties are split into shifts. Engine rooms would usually be manned by the vessel engineering team. Watch duty is also to maintain security and keep a lookout for any pirates, visibility and weather for the day. Usually fatigue creeps after 7, 8 hours bridge duty. All hate the night shifts. Sometimes a captain might assigned an inexperienced guy to be the on watch duty while he takes a rest. But captain as master of the vessel must always be informed at all times for any emergency even if he's soundly sleeping in his comfy room. Usually watch duties consist of at least 3 chaps at the bridge per shift depending on the number of crews.

Suez blockage is holding up $9.6bn of goods a day

The stranded Ever Given mega-container ship in the Suez Canal is holding up an estimated $9.6bn (£7bn) of goods each day, according to shipping data.
This works out at $400m an hour in trade along the waterway which is a vital passageway between east and west.
Data from shipping expert Lloyd's List values the canal's westbound traffic at roughly $5.1bn a day, and eastbound daily traffic at around $4.5bn.
Despite efforts to free the ship, it could take weeks to remove experts say.

The Ever Given, operated by the Taiwanese company Evergreen Marine, is the length of four football pitches and one of the world's biggest container vessels. The 200,000-tonne ship is capable of carrying 20,000 containers.
Its blockage is causing huge tailbacks of other ships trying to pass through the Suez Canal.

The canal, which separates Africa from the Middle East and Asia, is one of the busiest trade routes in the world, with about 12% of total global trade moving through it.
According to Lloyd's List tracking data there are more than 160 vessels waiting at either end of the canal. These include 41 bulk carriers and 24 crude tankers.

Along with oil, the sea traffic is largely consumer products such as clothing, furniture, manufacturing components and car parts.

"We're hearing reports now that shipping companies are starting to divert their ships around the southern tip of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, which adds about 3,500 miles to the journey and up to 12 days," Guy Platten, the secretary general of the International Chamber of Shipping, told the BBC's Today programme.
He said the ship appeared to be "hard fast aground", adding that freeing the vessel from the bank was taking much longer and was more complicated than had been initially expected.
Mr Platten added there would be "some major real-world effects on the supply chain", explaining that consumers would would ultimately bear the cost.

The Ever Given had been scheduled to arrive in the port of Felixstowe in early April.
Container ships have nearly doubled in size in the past decade as global trade expands, making the job of moving them much harder when they get stuck.
"What are we thinking? Have vessels gotten too large? Containers being jettisoned overboard, delayed transits due to terminal congestion and let us not forget the long line of vessels at many ports waiting for a berth," said Jon Monroe, who runs his own ocean transportation consultancy.

BIMCO, an international shipping association, says the delays will only continue to grow and affect supplies.
"For each day of delay my thought is it will take two days to undo the delays," said Alan Baer, president of logistics provider OL USA.
"Right now three days creates six days of ongoing delays. I'm not sure this is a perfect formula, but it will be close," he told the BBC.

In addition to delaying thousands of containers loaded with consumer items, the stranded ship has also tied up empty containers which are needed for exports.

If the delays are short, most companies will absorb the extra delay in transit times. But salvage officials said the congestion could last days or even weeks, in a blow to global supply chains already strained by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some companies will be considering flying replacement merchandise for higher value products, or transporting them via trains.
Two major shipping companies, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, said they are looking into options to avoid the Suez Canal.
Egypt's Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said it was doing all it could to refloat the ship with tug boats, dredgers and heavy earth-moving equipment.

Port authorities around the world would usually engage salvage companies to handle the mess. Port guys won't do the dirty work. They only provide pilotage service to guide any vessels coming in and out of their ports. And also importantly , any salvage job , one of the first task of the salvage master and crew is to look out for any oil spills due to environmental hazard. From the graphics posted by RT , this project at Suez Canal is quite a complicated task due to the size of the vessel , the narrow Suez Canal, and the load that the vessel is carrying. Probably need a shore based crane to do the lifting of the containers to ease the load of the vessel since using a crane barge would need alot of movement in that already congested area. Giant Crane barge is not like your typical normal ship. It's a big floating barge with giant crane on it for heavy lifting works and it needs to be pulled by tugboats. The vessel skipper and engineers will assist the salvage team in draining of fuel and ballast water. Once done the salvage team will takeover the vessel and the rest of the Ah Neh crew will be told to sit one side quietly

From the picture, can see containers are stack up to 8-9 high. Containers around 2-2.2m high depending on whether GP or high cube. ThT mean it at least 35-40 meters from surface of sea to the top tier. Normally the top 3-4 levels are empty containers which weighed 2.2t to 3.8t depending on 20 or 40ft, GP or high cube plus reefer type and even tank container that carry liquid that max gross weight is 38t. It will be difficult to have crane that can reach so high and carry such heavy load. To remove the container, somebody will have to stand at top edge of the container with a pole lasso to unlock the four twist locks that hold the container in place in heavy sea. Each lock weight around 3-5 kg each. It not doing all these at the pier but on a barge. It will not be easy, shd take at least 2 weeks.
While the ship look very big, it still not the biggest. Marsek and MSC ships even bigger.

aiyah, any and every thing will have health benefits if one wants to split hairs.

Ah nehs drink toddy to get buzzed! Suez canal? No problem one la, the current will move us along, like auto pilot. Let's all drink up and make merry!

Good point by you. If the bank soil is too soft, shore based crane will not be stable even if they extend the crane's outrigger. For this ops, I'm not sure how they're going to lift up the containers to lessen the load off the vessel should the need arises. For normal salvage ops, we would always have a giant crane barge towed by few tugboats. The heavy lifting barge would always be used for any lifting works and believe it or not, it's capable of even lifting up a sunken vessel so lifting of containers is chicken feed for this monster. To help lift the containers, salvage crew need to go up the vessel and secure the containers. I don't think they will ask the Ah Neh crew for help. Tugboat masters will pull the crane barge following the directions and coordinations directed by the lifting superintendent and whole ops supervised by Salvage master. Best case scenario is to tow a crane barge to near proximity of this vessel and standby another lifting platform to temporary stack up the containers there while other tugboats continue to pull the vessel away from the banks. But to do all this requires many movements and coordination and I'm not sure if the already congested Suez canal has extra room for the tugs to bring the crane barge there.

will be super sexpensive to send up elite crew to top containers, secure them to heavy lift choppers, unlock them, and remove one container at a time. a squadron of choppers and elite crew may reduce the time required, and choppers will need a hard safe zone to land containers with another crew waiting to unhook/unlatch. imagine all the manpower and logistics that need to be flown in from other cuntries to the accident site. it’s like a military undertaking. may be saf scholar generals can volunteer to get more peacetime medals and rival the feat of one cable car rescue hero general.
