KINGKONG:I quiet agree with you , I hope other shippers won't sue Ever Given, I don't think insurance cover incidents like this. |

fashrola:Very informative insight, although $9.8 billion is such an outrageous amount of money, crazy figure indeed, are you sure of the numbers? And if Egypt makes so much money in a day from their waterways alone, they would comfortably have the highest GDP both Nominal and PPP in Africa and a commanding position in the world too. |

TheFalcons:am not disputing you opinion but remember the ship is sailing off not entering harbour it's only navigating through the canal. the wind speed and direction is totally independent of the pilot and captain they can only work with the available data on meteorological information of the area, so I still maintain that on wind issue it's out of their control |

Mutemenot: Not the captain's fault. The news says a mysterious WIND turned the ship . |

Joysticks: When a solid body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force on the body, whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. Let me rephrase in simpler terms - When an object is thrown into a body of water, it experiences an upthrust, which is directly proportional to the quantity of water being displaced. Ships stay afloat corollary to this principle. My2cents. |

Lordave:. Yes.when a heavy body enters the water,it sinks.human beings can sink too..but when you swim,you are actually displacing a certain volume of fluid (water).. allowing you to float.displacement can be by hand or leg. 3 Likes |

Ishilove: For now, no. Until the deep seaport at lekki is completed. The harbour at Apapa and others are too shallow for this kind of vessel. Not too sure but I think current channels can only take like 4,000 TEU capacity ships |

The Captain will probably be sanctioned,could be negligence on his part.These shipping companies are merciless when issues arises that will cost them increased operational cost. |

What is Egypt doing with all the money it makes from the canal that it has not invested in redundancies all these decades. If poor Panama could so it, why not. But typical Africa. They wait for trouble before thinking. Look at the pitiable excavator being used to free such a massive ship. What a joke. 3 Likes |

Nice explanation. But why do stones sink into the water when being thrown to the water, instead of floating?... Since a stone is a solid body. And also, why do humans begin to sink once they dive into the water, if they don't know how to swim? wwwtortoise: 1 Like |

Kobicove: This is what happened Evergreen, a Taiwanese shipping company which owns the vessel, says a freak gust of wind blew the ship off course before it became struck after which it lost power and steering. |
Re: Giant Container Ship Ran Aground, Blocking World's Busiest Shipping Lane(Pics) by Prinznonny: 9:59am On Mar 26, 2021 |
Rayd502: Evergreen, a Taiwanese shipping company which owns the vessel, says a freak gust of wind blew the ship off course before it became struck after which it lost power and steering. So how is the captain to be blamed or punished, did he manufacture the wind that blew the ship off course, or is it from his village the wind came from?? |

See the size of that ship, waters could possibly be the strongest surface on earth, even stronger that land, that ship could have sunk moving on land with tyres 1 Like |

Blackdisciple: I understand bro. Don't mind my comment, it was done on a lighter note. Definitely, Captain work for this kind of ship is not easy especially through that narrow channel. Whoever navigates such, must be a highly trained and disciplined person. Much respect to them. |

Mutemenot:the statement says it was a freak gust of wind that caused it , not the captains carelessness. The canal is so narrow that the ship engine is shut off and it's control turned off so that only special tug boats pull it along. |
