Giant ship stranded and blocked Suez Canal

The giant ship was stranded and led to a collapse of the Suez Canal – the most important trading pathway, including cargoes with oil and gas transport. Reports about it Bloomberg.

Because of the plug, which was formed after the Ever Given container ship was stranded, “got up” at least a hundred vessels. Bloomberg notes that this happened “by chance”, due to the fact that the ship deviated from the course. The reason for the deviation – a suddenly rising strong wind, the Taiwanese company Evergreen Line was reported.

According to the operator of the vessel, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, the crew does not threaten anything. According to the latest data, there are no injured on the ship, the water area is not contaminated. Ever Given vessel followed China in Rotterdam (Netherlands).

In June 2020, the Russian trawler “Cochaysk” was stranded in Norway. Then it was reported that the steering could fall asleep and accidentally direct the stranded ship. The captain of one of the nearby courts Edmund Jonsien told that a small roll of the trawler is indicated.
