Giant Suez Canal ship freed | DW News
The Ever Given has been freed. The container ship was blocking the Suez Canal for nearly a week, holding up billions in trade. Workers succesfully freed the MV Ever Given, according to the Suez Canal Authority and service provider Leth Agencies. The vessel, which is the size of the Empire State Building in New York, had held up nearly 200 other ships, bringing the world’s most important trade route to a grinding halt.

#EverGiven #SuezCanal #Egypt
The colon is no longer constipated, what a relief.
Ew ha
Lmao
Yes and the first to leave is always the most painful…
Canal enema was successful!
Big job to all who put their hands and effort to dislodge the Ever Givern not forgetting the massive tag boats and all the operators of those yellow diggers bravo 👏🏾
@Reid Simonson Duh? Duh? The americans have all the tools but there’s one thing missing. Know how! From all countries on this planet, the Egyptian authorities picked *ONE* country, one *DUTCH* company for help. Now tell me, why???
@Hany el aref Nope. Hail to the dutchies.
@reindeerkid 😀 good luck dutch
He was the light in a cave .. bravo 👍🏼
@Rabia Ashfaq Dude, my cave is huge! How about the light under the stone you live under?
Ships that rerouted to cape of good hope: Lmao we’ll pretend its still stuck
Geography wasn’t the strong suit of many here. 😂😂
@Madsam 03 As for those few ships that were stuck and turned back they will ofc have escort until in safer waters… Even that theory of yours makes no sense. It’s expensive and hard to escort hundreds of convoys all the time. But one in situation like this is no brainer…
I was hoping to see some of the ships passing by Port Elizabeth (less than 700km from Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, in my home country of South Africa). Ships from Europe pass down Africa’s west coast, gets to the southwestern corner of South Africa (Cape of Good Hope), soon pass by Port Elizabeth, then travel further up the west coast of South Africa to Asia. My country was actually discovered by the Portugese as they were the first to travel the route around Africa to Asia (400 years before Suez was built). When they stopped at what is now my home city, they named the bay Bahia de Lagoa, today called Algoa Bay. In this bay there are 6 islands, one of which contains the largest number of African penguins in the world.
So, that was some detour information, promoting my country.
All thanx to a ship stuck in Suez.
But to prove a point: Cape of Good Hope is in South Africa, my home country. I’ve been there several times, so I do know.
And we are FAR AWAY from Somalia. Lol
From my home city (Port Elizabeth, South Africa) to Somalia is at least 6600km. This is still further than the distance between Paris (Europe) to New Delhi, India (Asia). Africa is huge! From Paris to Nigeria (Africa), is a shorter distance than from South Africa to Nigeria. Both South Africa and Nigeria are in Africa.
😁😁
@abc Do you realize they have to travel past pirate waters to get to south Africa?
Tugboats underrated af
Unfortunately the Tug boats are much smaller than needed to handle a ship of this size.
@Allan Gibson exactly a tugboat can’t pull a grounded ship, the force required is much much more than pulling capacity of a tugboat.
@ToxicBox Gaming … The full moon’s spring tide (King tide).
@liquid 877 It is larger because the ships have doubled in displacement over the last five years – and outrun the bollard pull capacity of the tugs. A two hundred ton pull tug (the biggest useable in the Suez) is going to have trouble with two hundred thousand ton ship even if it isn’t grounded.
“Who’ laughing now!” -saids the small excavator with his tiny voice from day 1
Auto pilot got hijacked.
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🚤🚢 u win the internet sir 🤣
He never stopped digging, and never gave up hope… The real MVP
Two minutes silence for captains of those ships who decided to circumnavigate around the Africa anticipating that it would take several weeks to free the Ever Given.
Decisions can only be judged with the information known at the time they were taken, not with the information we now have.
We need people to take rational decisions, not people who bet everything on a gut feeling or a premonition.
@Muhammad Gamal not true. It was not stuck where there were 2 branches. It’s going to take 10-14 days to clear the backlog
@Aman Singh Smartass
@Guillaume Nani You need to have more sense of humor
Free at last! It’s been a fun week indulging in ever given’s memes. See you all in the next trend.
You say that but my CTRM was rebounding up until this turd constipated the Suez.
The next scripted ritual you mean
@CIA we meet again
Facts, see you at the next disaster
I called Amazon and told them all my packages were late and got the wildest excuse EVER GIVEN.
Oh just the Best !!! If life gets tough guys we just have to come back here 😄😁😆 Until the next time.
😂 👏🏾 on that one
The coming of Jesus Christ is close my brothers and sisters!! Please repent of your sins and ask God for salvation for the time is short 💕😞 we are not perfect which is why we need to seek the lord more than ever!❤️❤️🙏🏼….. God spoke to me through dreams and is waiting that you may come to him!
Priceless comment EVER GIVEN !!!!
😂👍👍
Okay, now we are asking an economist why it took so long to get the ship afloat. LOL! Really? “Tune in at 6:00 PM when we have our special guest, a professional hair-stylist, explain the latest weather patterns of the pacific north-west.”
Lol I laughed way too hard!
Priceless comment! BRAVO 😀
😂😂😂
And, they can have an anthropologist on next interview to tell us the ship was stuck for an unknown religious ritual.
Let’s all spare a thought for the little excavator that made freeing this ship 🚢 possible.
