WHOOPS

One of the worlds largest containerships is a little bit stuck in the middle of the suez canal

Which will be causing a few delays in getting stuff into europian ports which of course is the fault of brexit

Not sure why you needed to bring Brexit into it...

quite a log jam of ships building up

'caused by a suspect gust of wind'? Strange that the rest of the ships aren't also all over the show.

Unless the suspect is the suez pilot and the gust of wind was between their cheeks causing a vector malfunction.

In that situation:

- does the captain get sacked?

- is that his/her career done?

- who pays for the cost of getting the ship off the sand?

- can other ships claim for delays?

- can owners of the goods make a claim?

Just throws up lots of questions for me. I (obviously) know nothing about the maritime sector.
