"Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has ordered that the shipping containers should be removed from the huge Ever Given ship currently trapped in the Suez Canal."

"Now al-Sissi has been left with no choice but to order preparations to unload the ship’s cargo in an attempt to help refloat the boat, according to a statement from the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), as per Reuters."

"The rudder was not moving and it is now moving, the propeller is working now, there was no water underneath the bow, and now there is water under it, and yesterday there was a 4-metre deviation in the bow and the stern."

"However, a mass of rock was later found at the bow of the ship, bringing the progress to a screeching halt."

The Ever Given keeps on giving. Will the H3RC give up her secrets now?

Will the containers be looted?

Unloading...You need special people with special skills to remove that load....one box at a time.

Probably the best decision yet, and it took Al-Sisi to make it.

It takes a king to give that order?

Duh, WTF took them so long?

All that is required is to off load the containers onto the side of the canal where there is a well maintained road on both sides of the canal, refloat the ship and reload the containers.

[EC Washington]

also need special equipment - they will need container handlers that can reach the ship’s deck - not easy at all.

All I know is, knowing about the Clinton Kill List, if I was a government worker managing the Suez, I would NOT want to order the unloading of anything with the name "HR3C".

Get the ship out of the canal so other ships can start passing. Load it back up at the other side.

Article talks about requiring a 200’ reach Crane.

My bet is that a Jewish Company will get the contract to refloat and remove the ship by whatever means necessary.

Wonder how many migrants died miserable deaths being sealed up in a few of those containers. Made no sense that those containers were not removed almost immediately to lighten the ship.Some very important people probably concluded it was best to leave them in place and totally avoid any inspections or investigations.

My bet is that a Jewish Company will get the contract ...

Perhaps. Consider that the company that owns one of the involved tugs is BARACKA1. OTOH, two others were MOSEAD2 and MOSEAD3.

FWIW (limited amount), I’ve heard there are NO live children in any of the containers. That’s the rumors, at least.

There are reports of cargo ships blocked and delayed with livestock that are at risk of starvation and death.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi need to keep the canal clean... and a system of warning alarms when a ship moves out of the main canal would be nice too...

The ruler ordered that ramps be made to warp around the ship and the blocks of containers removed one at a time by the Egyptian slaves just like the old days.

[norwaypinesavage]

It may very well require military helicopters to get them off, and people who know how to do it on the ship, i.e., it’s a military operation.
