Another reason to see prices go up some more in the near future.

PING!

Land-based winches and steel rope properly placed should do it.

The operating company is Evergreen; the individual ship’s name is Ever Given.

I think Evergreen is the shipping line and Ever Given is the ship’s name.

The potential for piracy is rising fast. I wonder who diddled the steering via hacking, to shut down the Suez so more vulnerable routes would be used??? What a great opportunity for the English Navy to make themselves useful!

The ship is called the Ever Given. The shipping company that owns it is named Evergreen.

“Land-based winches and steel rope properly placed should do it.”
*************************************************
I’m surprised we haven’t seen them add that yet. If not steel rope, then use very heavy duty anchor chains.

That ship loaded with all those containers is one big ass wall. You throw enough wind at it’s broadside, it’s gonna move. Even if they did engage bow thrusters, I doubt they had enough thrust to make a difference in a narrow channel to keep it away from the bank.

At this point I’m willing to give the pilot and the steering the benefit of the doubt.

A pretty simple example of why we should make shiite here in the US mainland.

You said what I have thought of. Several heavy duty Caterpillars on tracks and on land with heavy cable hitched at the right place should be able to point this vessel in the right direction. Well so much for the thought.....At least I wasn’t the only one who thought of it.

Is the price of bananas soon to skyrocket, I wonder?

How the HECK can they come from so far away and only cost me 39-cents per pound as it is?

They probably do not have quick access to the equipment needed. I bet mass improvements are to be planned. Look what it has cost to be unprepared.
