Suez Canal salvage teams were alternating between dredging and tugging on Sunday to dislodge a massive container ship blocking the busy waterway, but two sources said efforts had been complicated by rock under the ship’s bow.
Dredgers working to dislodge the stranded vessel have so far shifted 27,000 cubic metres (954,000 cubic feet) of sand, to a depth of 18 metres (59 feet), and efforts would continue around the clock, wind conditions and tides permitting, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said in a statement.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has ordered preparations for the possible removal of some of the ship’s cargo to help refloat it, SCA Chairman Osama Rabie told Egypt’s Extra News.
Any operation to lighten the ship’s load would not start before Monday, an SCA source said.

Pure insanity
Perfect Hollywood superhero rescue scene 🦸♂️
HEAVENLY FATHER WE ASK U RELEASE the VESSEL, & SEND A HIGH TIDE TO FREE THE SHIP in JESUS CHRIST HOLY NAME, AMEN
Eat …… Sleep…… Work…… Repeat…… 🏋️🏋️
Too Big to Fail?? 🙄🍾
Why do news sources keep referring to the container ship as the “Ever Given” when the name “EVERGREEN” is clearly marked in four metre high lettering down the side of the hull? This must be an example of persistent post-Trump fake news syndrome.
Because evergreen is the company name while ever given is the ship name
@G C Thank you.
should never be allowed, GREED !!
they need a LR 13000 to unload the containers in the desert and then move the ship
donno why they dont start lifting the containers away whit choppers
So olie is proving not effective ? so now we are gonna see massive changes. into E-power.
*Welcome to a ship that will forever be famous by a disaster!*
Funny that the using the Moon to solve this problem.
It is human error and indian crew should have get strict punishment and fined for Losing Billions of money for those Shipping companies who have stuck in Suez Canal.
SWEJ at it again
Actually ram another cargo ship into it and lets see what happens. Im sure it’ll dislodge…
Lol
I can surely sympathize with this ship, as my very own Suez Canal was severely blocked this morning for only 1 hr until the Prune Juice started taking affect.
Which container ship got stuck — the EVER GIVEN or the EVERGREEN?
Dreadfully cruel situation for all the iive stock carried on these container ships
The uttermost white systemically doubt because jason trivially wink pro a nonchalant vibraphone. zany, elite quotation
THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just get the parcel thieves to lighten the load.
This is how trade with communist China ends …:D
Jesus is coming soon
First the disease covid 19
Soon hunger
After wars
Be ready🥺🥺
Is this the first time this cargo vessel has been here?
And the Dutch do it again !!! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 !!
Set up explosives, set them off, use recoil.
Shouldn’t they auger (with a screw or suction) & haul away the sand underneath the hull?
She is MOVING now!
Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
As if covid wasn’t bad enough for the world economy all of a sudden a ship blocks the Suez Canal almost seems like it’s all been done on purpose I can’t even imagine the impact if tik tok stops working.
The foolish snake acromegaly sound because jennifer postmeiotically wipe a a utopian dryer. afraid, zesty beaver
They need the help of Iron Man and Hulk
sounds like what you need is a water pump shoehorn. your wecome
doesnt the pilot board at port said tug assisting and escorting. canal authorities are too tight even one inch of overdraft the ship has to lighten before it is allowed to transit.
Some things you must leave to the Dutch. They know most of dredging, shallow water , mud, banks and sand.
“Wars will be won without one bomb or even bullet”
Is it me or did no no one explain why its grounded? It seems to have enough power ie electricity. One thing it does show is the greed of the governments/businesses loading a huge ship to save money when they could have sent 3 or 4 smaller ships less profit but profit none the less.

There is more to this that mets the eye…the cargo…human
The clumsy letter wailly wriggle because organisation ultrastructurally doubt via a available catsup. alive, damaged print
Indian pilots take down planes from the sky and drink tea and sea pilots block everyone’s way by boat and consider themselves very smart.😂😂😂😂😂
Its probably the last crossing of the ship’s captain in suez canal…
The Biden & Clintons DNC Shedrules did this To raise the cost of goods? Gas is already up 100% since the pipeline scam. Absolutely Communist are running the DNC & the unions who lost their 11,000 men who dtupidly voted working on the pipeline then told get a job at Macdonald’s.? Thats how you help the middle class?

If lots of big tug boats can’t move it just leave it the wind works better haha😅😅 just tell people have the vaccine first then we’ll move it🤣🤣
Time to start thinking about another route for the future
They should’ve call Jack Sparrow
Use the power of water to solve the problem.
I feel bad for all of the ships that decided to go the long way!
Unload the boat
The Dutch Boskalis – SMIt Tak – wellknown in the MIddel East – helped a little. Thanks. Back to the normal jobs.
What a surprise that this ” accident ” is hurting a “problematic” country such as Syria
THEY HAVE TO DRINK WATER NOT WINE AT CHURCH
It’s OPEN !!! Thanks to the DUTCH experts 👍👍🙏🙏 The best experts are DUTCH experts.
OK. If a boat is stuck for 5 days how come this has knock on effect longer than 5 days?
Congrats normal men with their machinery. Don’t expect Superman to come for rescue.
This is not o crises! This is some lost of some companies! All about money ! I am sick of this! F**K this!
What’s in the containers ????? Children been trafficked, people WATCH when they open them.
You did’t respect Tanzanian’s presdent funneral thus why
Possibility of negative impacts on Syria being a motivation?
💖🙏💚💖
Why don’t you just get strip mining equipment and just strip Mine It Out ?

WHY IS IT CALLED, “EVERGREEN”?…
Children are reportedly transported in green containers with white label, ‘Evergreen’, before falling into the hands of the Satanic elite.
HRC didn’t randomly pick the name Evergreen.
Evergreen = evergreen, symbolizes longer life and is another illustration of their Satanic cults.
The name evergreen refers to consumption of children, blood and adrenochrome used to extend the lives of the Satanic Cabal. Childerns are in this containers ready to sacrifice!!! The good ones white hats sabotage the ship steering to crash and expose them but…
A terrorist attack from from uk France USA to hike the cost of goods by 35% to hard working people like me so the billionaires will gain more money, it is ridiculous absurd attack on humanity from this terrorist governments just because they want their money back from helping people in the pandemic there’s evil and there’s evil people and they’re not Arabs it’s those governments that pretend they have a free country “”“
Update… it’s moving.
my goods! 😥
India gave another big loss to the world by blocking that canal !! Man indian pilots crew members useless
does the Suez canal require a Harbor Pilot?
🚪👈😬
The US needs to take control of the canal.
Why can’t they just dig another canal around the constipated ship (so the others can pass) . . . eh ?
I mean it’s not key-hole brain rocket surgery !
Now a new movie is under. Pre production in the Hollywood.. Tom hanks be ready..
The world today is stunned by the numbers of commercial losses resulting from the disruption of the sea passage and the disruption of the ship. But I remembered the saying of the One God in the Noble Qur’an: “In the creation of the heavens and the earth, the difference of night and day, and the ark that takes place in the sea for the benefit of people, and God has not sent down from the sky, so His meekness is the earth after its death, and He has broadcast in it of every carelessness and the draining of the winds and the clouds that has made mockery between heaven and earth for miracles for people who understand) and also In what other way does God say: (He made fun of what is in the earth and the ark flowing in the sea at His command) So is it possible that the Prophet Muhammad was lying about his being the last prophet and how did he know all this?
The Englich dont know, rather talk to the Nederlanders they are the guys with the facts.
Never happened or ever given ..?
Haha
Idiots .. its too big this ship
400 m ???!!!!… hahahah
Something is fishy….make sure it’s not a Trojan horse.
Who is owner of this canal..?
Footage of pure commercial trade and economic devestation folks… its great.
Is the tanker Evergreen or Evergiven? I’ve seen videos with both names used. Today, it’s been dislodged.
I believe my ps5 is on that ship
CCP doing it on purpose for revenge.
Sailor : Captain this is the wrong way, what should we do captain?
captain : . . . . . Yea.. this is the right way
How about we just raise the sea levels! Lol!!
Gee I WONDER WHAT’S in THOSE containers…🤔 I WONDER WHY a ship that’s made this voyage THOUSANDS upon thousands of times previously, has now forgot how to navigate this channel and suddenly wrecks it into land… WEIRD. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄
Some stunt actor from Bollywood would require only one BAMBOO to free the ship. 😅
That ships Captain will retire sooner that expected 😅
Id say he be well looked after, as its some stunt to pull before you disappear into retirement alright
Just invite the locals for a free for all party and they will clear all cargo.
We felt this bad situation as very nice and incredible condition of that stucked ship..😅😅😎👌
We eventually got the internet connection sorted in Egypt & had a global ZOOM meeting, once that happened the boat was freed.
We need Aquaman
Axe cap aT it again I should have seen this move just when covid is become the past
What a coincidence!!😎
Why does it have EverGreen on side off this ship everyone keeps calling EverGiven ?
This incident was done intentionally, no accident.
