Suez blocked by stuck ship!

[anonymous-user]

Some one is going to get a big bill for this one:



That's the MV #EVERGIVEN 400m long / 59m wide of a Gross tonnage: 219,079 Capacity: 20,388 TEUs

And it's stuck sideways and by the looks of it, aground in the middle of one of the buisiess ship canals in the world!

DOH!


I think they are going to need a bigger digger........

Probably not the best place for a three-point turn.

I, also, have ripped an ill-advised handbrake turn in the wrong place.

We’ve all done it.

I once barrel rolled a car on a first date mere seconds after telling Becky Davis to ‘watch this’.

She wasn’t impressed enough to give me a second date.

It's a monster. At 200,000 tons, no surprise they're trying to dig it out to help the tugs!

Looks like he was intent on drawing cocks and has ended up T - 'boned'

Lots of ships waiting to come through. I hope they have a British queuing system?

I know - if they got some of those elastic tow ropes and tied it on to two of the big boats - one each end - and PULLED when I say PULL - I bet that would do it?

And that’s just the captain’s dump after realising what he’s done..

[The Mad Monk]

"Shall we try turning on the bow thrusters?" That might do it?

I presume in a couple of weeks my bike parts / car parts / electronics / pick one will be delayed due to brexit, covid and now blocked canal?
