On March 23, 2021 the container ship Ever Given was on it’s journey between the port of Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia and Rotterdam in the Netherlands when it was sailing through the Suez Canal in Egypt. The ship was surprised by a sandstorm and rammed itself into the side wall of the canal. Even though the blockade is resolved, it is expected that the delay is expected to cause a ripple effect that will add stress to port facilities and even inland infrastructure.

If this is a meme (its definitely not) it isn't slower because whoever created this video wanted it to be done after the ship was freed. If this is neither news or a meme then this person is referring to the general topic of the ever given in which case memes were faster because the news won't publish a story till they have a picture for the headline which they normally grap from social media which could be classified under memes because memes are posted on social media.

I can’t help but be happy this is happening. I love when weaknesses are exposed, because it leads to solutions and a more robust and sometimes more balanced economy.

[@johnh1001]

The 3D imagery may be nice to look at but also remember that computer imagery could all be false . Now , this particular incident is true to the past tense . I.E. It already happened and is documented by many . Also remember that if the computer imagery were to show for example a false explosion on board or a huge fire or the ship breaking half . Folks from that portion of the globe would of coarse know better . But if that computer created imagery did show such false devastation it could easily trick the eyes/minds of good honest people elsewhere in the world into believing it . Computer created imagery should be questioned so as it's not used as a cover up . Thankyou ................

[@onimusha950]

Now according to what I've heard, the ship was not actually stuck because of a sandstorm but rather because of the bank cushion and suction effect. According to one report, although the winds were high that day, there was no actual sandstorm. The winds however, still affected the ship causing it to sway between the sides of the channel and in an attempt to reduce the drift from side to side the vessel increased her speed. This increase in speed also increased the effects of bank suction and cushion so when the vessel neared one side of the channel, bank cushion caused the bow of the vessel to be repelled to the other side of the channel while bank suction sucked the stern in the opposite direction.

[@ferociousfeind8538]

@@the_expidition427 yeah... We live in a world of profits, which incentivizes doing things cheaply and just barely enough. If we were determined to never let this happen again, we'd probably have three channels through Egypt comprising the Suez Canal, so that a single ship getting stuck in one wouldn't impact two-way traffic, along with fleets of planes ready to pick up the slack if three ships managed to get simultaneously stuck anyways, and generous margins on the boats themselves and at ports to quickly process the following influx of traffic once the ships came unstuck. But that's ridiculously expensive to build and maintain, every aspect of it, so we instead do the minimum required to keep things moving smoothly most of the time. We could do better, but doing better is not particularly incentivized right now.

Very good video. A couple of points - The re-routing of the shipping around the cape of Good Hope doesn't just increase the time and fuel required - both adding considerable expense - but it also means they will be travelling through seas that can have some of the worst weather and waves on the planet. Increasing the risk of damage or loss of cargo or, in the worst case, of the vessel itself, and it's crew! Some people have difficulty understandin how the crosswind could cause the ship to become difficult to control and even run aground as it did - ships are steered from the rear, where the propellor is, and it's like driving a car in reverse which is fine if the vehicle is going where it's steered and the non steering wheels aren't skidding. When the ship is struck by cross-winds the front of the ship is pushed away from the direction of travel and the rear has to move even further to counter steer into the wind's force - and if the wind is gusting it's quite easy to get the timing of the countersteering out and so make things worse, just like the over-correcting that can happen with a skid that makes things much worse. It may help to think of it like pulling a stick from the front compared to pushing it from the back, or better, holding it up from the top Vs balancing it on a finger.

Egypt is still a nation that impresses me. from its ancient history, Greko-Roman Antiquity, Arab Rule, and modern Egypt.

@Clan Clannie I assure u that we the Egyptians who removed 2 dictators in the past 10 years can remove President El Sisi if we want and when we want .. If he acted against out country or our people.. But the facts is that we support him right now because he is developing the country and improving it ... in every field. There is no murdering in Egypt .. u get false news from false media companies funded by our Enemies "Turkey and Qatar"

[@andrewessam2181]

@Clan Clannie Google this " The pharaohs golden parade " and you can see the progress by yourself . And u can watch it on 400 international TV stations tomorrow.. 7pm cairo time .❤

I'm not convinced that this was an accident. How many ships pass through during high winds without incident?

[@jinajasminpadhi1691]

I Agree

[@Dumify]

And a storm would not affect such a heavy ship

[@azmxh]

Because smaller ships wouldn't get stuck they would just be pushed, even if they were sideways they wouldn't block the width of the canal, but since this ship was massive it managed to block it

[@tomdodds9457]

I love your videos. So amazing you were able to cover this so quickly

[@ntstudio28]

Reminds me of the time in 8th grade my school went camping in the mountains. I had to poop as we hiked to the cabin at the top and the entire class had to wait for me....i remember feeling it would never end..

[@nevmcc3884]

That musta been 1 huge poop.

Was there a global flow-on affect for months afterwards? 💩

How does the suez canal traffic jam affect global trade value? How this global traffic jam is causing an ambulance in good imports and exports? What would your fair share solution be if you are political leader?

[@smokingjoe9864]

If it only took 30 minutes for an emergency response, then the captain should of requested a 'bow boat' to help get through the sand storm.

Facts: I ordered a composting barrel and was given a delivery of within the week. then on delivery day i get a new crazy delayed delivery date compared to the timeline i was given for original delivery date. when the canal was unblocked and the news was covering the unjamming, moments later my package had a new expected delivery date. my wife also had $30k in computer parts for business with the same exact sequence of events.. lol

If the Suez Canal is so essential for the global trade, why hasn’t the canal been expanded to two lanes all the way. Egypt gets loads of money for each passage. Is all the money needed for maintenance of the canal or does ist trickle away in the Egyptian administration and politic?

[@PerpetualPrograstinator]

It all goes into the military lobby's pockets. Most of the Egyptians are beyond destitute..

[@andrewessam2181]

The canal doesn't need have two lanes all through it right now .. may be after 10 years or so .. Although it has been expanded recently in 2015 ... increasing the its capacity from 49 ships per day to 97 ships per day . And about the money .. 5 billion dollar per year contributes to a small percentage of the country income which is used for maintenance of the canal and boosting the economy

[@andrewessam2181]

@@PerpetualPrograstinator no ..the Egyptians are doing fine and the money enters the economy and we are having a great improvement in the economy in the past years that even during covid we made a 2.6% GDP growth in 2020 when the whole world collapsed Thanks to the current Egyptian Government ❤🇪🇬

[@PerpetualPrograstinator]

As you can see the replies to my comment, these are Pro-sisi employed electronic puppets. We have to deal with this daily on Facebook and KZbin. They basically are easily identifiable by their super dumb defense of the egyptian government. They sound like a tired overplayed 60's radio propaganda stream.
