this is serious

.

Not the captain but the pilot onboard, whenever a ship calls into port, a pilot boards the ship and take over command and shows where the captain should ply (Even though the captain knows but it's a regulation), but from speculations about this incident, it was a wind that made ship go off course..

When it comes to ship incident, we do not make hasten conclusions till after investigation


Egypt is loosing about $9.8 Billion dollars per day because of this incident

Jesu! Are you serious Bro? How dem dey take lose that kind money daily! Do they toll the route?

You do realize that's about our foreign reserves per day you're talking about here abi?

tutudesz:
Was the captain high Not to notice the ship movement on time.

You think ship maneuver is that easy? can you see how tight is the canal? una go just they type for the sake of it

Mutemenot:
Another hit from Explorer . The captain of the ship should be punished for his mistakes ...

Try to be understanding something before opening your mouth anyhow

DAramis:
Wetin the ship pilot dey do that he or she can't navigate in that small route?

you should learn to read with keen interest.... there was a part written that the wind was much for the ship so it lost it power and steering ability thereby causing the stuck at the canal bank

Each vessel pays up to $200,000 to transit from Suez canal and it's one of the busiest canal in the world

There are container ships that can carry more than 23500 containers

What's the roadmap to becoming a driver of a ship. Is there any training institution doing it in Nigeria?

Another hit from Explorer . The captain of the ship should be punished for his mistakes ... Meanwhile they must be an option b3fore the day runs off, I trust the white when it comes to emergency like this

in a force majeure like this..... there is little the pilot can do to stop the wind from blowing I don't know if you have ever sail before, you would understand me better

Babaken:
you mean the CAPTAIN.

Yeah, bro. Hope he was not busy watching keeping up with Kardashons while the ship was on autopilot?

fashrola:


Wind plays an important role during navigation.....

You don't joke with it

Sure, but look at those pics & possibly watch the video again. How many freak accidents like this have happened since the channel was opened? What happened to the other ships within the vicinity if a freak wind can move a heavily laden ship of that magnitude? Or was the captain sleeping?

Joysticks:
How this big ship with heavy loads can float on water beat my imagination.

that's the mistery of science.

It wasn't this detailed when the story broke by Explorer... He only added pictures and few comments.

All the same, thanks for the information.

Yes bro.its called principle of floatation.In physics, Archimedes principles states that when a body is wholly or partially immersed in a fluid ( water or gas) it experiences a loss in weight or an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.thats why when you want draw water from the well,you experience the bucket being less heavy inside the water but more heavy outside.when a heavy object dispaces a given volume of water equal to it's weight,then it can float.

I think it has to do with Archimedes principle

But it's one of the busiest in the world..... My last voyage three years ago from Germany to China was a great one (Since it was my first time) and I really wanted to see the renowned Suez canal


It takes just 12 days to transit from Europe to Asia via Suez Canal, it saves fuel and transit time rather than using the western part of Africa to Asia which cost a lot fuel and transit time

To pass here, each shipping company spends close to $170,000 to $200,000 to pass through the Suez canal

Omo! See revenue generation.Una dey here for 9ja de fight for crude oil alone.

He's exegerating lol.


Yes shipping companies that their vessel passes through that canal pay a fee, but not that Egypt is losing $9billion per day, they will be richer than China and US combined na lol



It's global shipping business that's losing that amount based on speculations actual.


You can calculate the cost of your vessel's (aka ship lol) passage fee via suez canal using this site https://www.wilhelmsen.com/tollcalculators/suez-toll-calculator/

pls explain better how is Egypt losing $9.8 billion per day on this canal

I think say na only me Dey wonder o..

And how aeroplane Dey fly too

Thats how our grand daddies in government get stuck in their positions and make it hard for the country to move faward.
Someone navigates Nigeria to the world's extreme corner and dumped her there.

This is where Egypt's main revenue comes from now I understand.

oga professor, hope u know everybody is not a science student and I say to some extent that the person who asked this question might not be a science student. so blow your grammar poco a poco

Saw this on Instagram earlier.

Suez canal is a narrow part but the quickest route from the New World to Europe Africa and Asia.

AgentGoat:

Yes,buy a form n go to Maritime Academy of Nigeria,Oron in Akwa Ibom State.Its a globally recognized Maritime institution here in Nigeria offering such professional training.My bros went through it,he is now with Indonesian shipping company abroad.

Trust Nigerians, the prices of commodities will increase now. You will begin to hear "Nnaa mehn market don cost because one ship block road for high sea" Igbo kwenu

Could this be the hand work of JUBRIL AL' SUDANI?...

I mean comparing it with the way buhari has piloted the affairs of this nation...

Lol.. Some of you guys are damn too funny

Explorers:
The Suez Canal is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, connecting Europe with the Far East.


The Suez canal, which is around 120 miles long links the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean and is the shortest shipping route between the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.

I don’t know where you or the OP got your misinformation from.

Suez Canal links the Red sea and the Mediterranean Sea, not the Persian Gulf.

Does it mean that the canal is too small for ship of this magnitude?
Talking about wind blowing it off course,so the wind blew it from the center of the canal until it's finally got stuck at the bank of the canal? Wots de distance between the center and the bank?
I refused to completely believe the excuse about the wind.I rather sense human error by the technical crew as the cause of this mishap.

Exactly, the harbour pilot is to blame.

With full knowledge and experts available on board, this is the result he can give.
