Will be interesting to see how many lawsuits and damages will result out of this 'clogged toilet'

Such size ships pay $700.000 to pass through the Suez canal. Smaller ones pay less. The average is some $450,000 and at cca 50 ships per day the losses for Egypt add up.

The hundreds of ships which are currently blockaded and the owners of their cargoes may also ask for compensation.

The ship is insured likely up to 140-150 million. That will not be enough to pay for this incident. Many court claims will be made. The Japanese owners of the ship, the Taiwanese charterer, the German company managing the ship, the pilots and the crew will all be asked to pay for every penny that is not covered by the insurance.

No idea how maritime law works over seas, but in the US there are statutes that limit the damages to the value of the vessel and cargo.

But seriously does it seem like the effort matches the impact of the 'clog' ?

You take another ship down stream turn it sideways so the canal water backs up and floats out the stuck ship. Biden said C'mon Man this isn't brain surgery as Kamala open the door of the Resolute Desk and crawled out with a old dry pearl neckless to chime in.

This crap is really affecting my business, I just seen a 20% increase in costs this week. Get ready people for a major tick up in inflation next week. You think bullets are tough to get, think about food and gas.

Just get another ship the same size and DP that bitch! Ram the tip of this ship with another to dislodge it!

Blockage Cleared, Ships Moving At Record Speed As Chick-Fil-A Workers Put In Charge Of Suez Canal

EGYPT—When massive shipping container vessel the Ever Given got stuck, authorities had no idea how they were going to free it and get traffic moving through the Suez Canal again. But then one of them had a great idea: he called a Chick-fil-A location in America to ask if they'd loan them a few...
