Bit of gaffa tape and she'll be fine, said a mondeo ownerTis but a scratch.
It would seem that the Ever Given's draught has reduced to 7m.
Does that mean the bow is out of the water to facilitate repairs?

Arthur Tussik would turn that round in a couple of days... No updates on the Maritime website for the Ever Given for a few days.
I suppose it's having its nose sorted?

Yep, still in dry dock. There's quite a bit of work to be done.I suppose it's having its nose sorted?

Fair bit of damage there.
With the container market on fire now..... Evergreen turning a decent profit.
Evergreen reports $3bn profits on capacity shortage STRONG market conditions continued to bump up the
earnings of Evergreen Line, the world’s seventh largest container shipping carrier.
The company’s Taipei-listed unit Evergreen Marine Corp reported T$80.1bn ($2.9bn) net profit for
the third quarter of 2021, up 90.5% quarter-on-quarter and 879.1% year-on-year.
Total net profit for the first nine months of the year was T$158.3bn, more than 10 times
the year-ago level.

Apparently they’ve already got a new bow section made back to behind the bow thrusters. So they’ll just cut all the damage area off and weld a new bit on, more or less
Very logical.After all they would have had dive teams checking for damage while she was anchorages for 3 months in the Bitter lakes in the Canal.
More than enough time, using the ships drawings, to fabricate a new bow sections to have ready at the drydocking.
Time is money and more so right now for container lines that are absolutely at peak demand and making ridiculous money.
Is it repaired and out of dock? If so, why is it stationary?

It's a fairly standard thing to do actually. It seems mental - but if damage is severe, they just cut the whole damaged bit off and replace it.
An interesting example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_San_Francisco_(S...
They hit an underwater mountain and ended up cutting the whole bow off and replacing it with the bow from another submarine they'd decommissioned.
