tchyp:poroussoul: A large container ship has been stuck in the Suez Canal since Tuesday, after strong winds pushed it aground on one of the canal’s banks. The 1,312-foot-long (400 meters) “Ever Given” is large enough to block the entire width of the canal, leaving hundreds of other vessels stuck at both ends. The canal, which connects the Red to Mediterranean Seas, facilitates the passage of roughly 18,000 ships per year, or 50 ships per day.2: On-the-ground photo from current efforts underway to dislodge the ships from the canal’s bank.30.862907°, 32.315920°Source imagery: Airbus Space, © CNES 2021, Distribution Airbus DS / Suez Canal AuthoritySource: dailyoverview The digger has longer term job prospects than most people. -- source link
