Euphoria in Egypt as Ever Given Refloated on Suez Canal Boats blew their horns and cheers erupted this morning after workers managed to refloat the container ship that’s been blocking one of the world’s busiest waterways for a week in a maritime soap opera that’s spawned a million memes but also caused huge financial losses and fuel shortages. The Ever Given, which is the size of the Empire State Building, should be fully freed today when the water level rises, Egyptian authorities said, after an operation involving 10 tugboats and sand dredges. More than 350 ships carrying billions in cargo will soon be able to continue their passage....

REUTERS/Tony Gentile gCaptain March 27, 2021 Billions of dollars worth of global trade is hanging in the balance as salvage efforts continue to refloat the MV Ever Given in the Suez Canal. The impact of the event now rests entirely on how long it takes to refloat the ship to restore maritime commerce through the critical chokepoint that offers the shortest route between Asia and Europe. So what will it take to refloat the 400-meter-long containership? Well that’s currently the million billion-dollar question. But to get an idea, we reached out to veteran salvage master Captain Nick Sloane for his take on the situation. If the...

Smit To Start Suez Box Removal

Smit To Start Suez Box Removal – gCaptain By Fred Pals , Lucia Kassai , and Alex Longley (Bloomberg) Smit, the salvage company battling to dislodge the ship that’s blocking the Suez Canal said a crane will arrive at the location this weekend to begin the painstaking process of removing some of the vessel’s cargo in a bid to help it refloat. The Ever Given, a 400-meter long container ship with almost $1 billion of cargo on board, jammed itself fast into the banks of the waterway on Tuesday, and estimates for it to be freed have now risen to over a week. Tug boats and dredgers have made a little progress, but the urgent need to restart the canal means thousands of the carrier’s steel boxes need removing as soon as possible so that the carrier sits higher in the water.

VIDEO: How Does A Ship Run Aground In The Suez Canal – gCaptain VIDEO: How Does A Ship Run Aground In The Suez Canal John Konrad March 24, 2021 by Captain John Konrad (gCaptain) Yesterday morning an ultra-large containership ran aground and blocking ship traffic in the Suez Canal. AIS data shows the MV Ever Given is stuck sideways towards the south end of the canal near Suez, Egypt, preventing ships from passing in either direction. gCaptain contributors Sal Mercogliano and Mike Schuler have been busy with interviews on NPR, BBC and The NY Times. In these interviews, the question we get asked the most is… how could this happen? While we have to wait for the official investigation and incident report (which will not be released for at least a year) to get the specific details… we filmed this short video to explain the challenges of navigating a...

Chinese Navy Harvests Data from South China Sea By Zachary Haver on Mar 24, 2021 05:41 pm China’s new militarized outposts in the Spratly Islands and its expanded bases in the Paracel chain are helping harvest one of the South China Sea’s most valuable but least visible resources: data. Research by the Chinese military and other documentation show that the collected data informs ongoing construction activities, helps improve naval weapons and underwater communications in the unique local environment, and could support amphibious landing operations in the future – among other uses. This data is valuable because it allows the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) to understand the elements that constitute the “ocean battlespace environment,” according to Ryan Martinson, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies Institute. “China needs to collect this information because it is used to build and improve models for how these elements...
