Stranded Ever Given back afloat in Suez Canal: Reports
The Ever Given has been “successfully refloated” on the Suez Canal, according to Inchcape Shipping Services, a week after it ran aground in high winds blocking one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
“She is being secured at the moment. More information about next steps will follow once they are known,” the company said on Twitter.

@MF Khaleel logic often isn’t used in all things
TOO EARLY FOR CELEBRATION UNLESS I SEE EVERGIVEN SAILING-TILL THEN CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

That’s what’s wrong with our country. Pure definition of stupidity.

New favorite series: The Ever Given, Ever stuck.
Maybe Ever Sunk after this disaster … but it is probably still good for the longer future trips.
Just not ideal for that desert bottleneck.
Well behaved ships rarely make history
zerofcks was Ever Given
All the losses these businesses had to bear would now be transferred to consumers by putting higher price tags for the goods.
@Kulwant Dhaliwal you don’t have a clue. Corporations don’t always make a profit. They lose on some transactions and if they lose too often, they go bankrupt.
@Bruno R. capitalism is the simple free exchange of goods. You have something i want. I have something you want ( quite often money). We make the exchange freely. The other option is to let government decide who buys and sells and for how much.
They have insurance
@Aleks Nestserau yeah, but next week you’ll pay 10 dollars for a roll of toilet paper!
@G Mc Innis Supermarket do and then they’ll be up their prices by 1,2,3,4,5% … You’ll pay 10 dollars for a roll of toilet paper because they know you’ll have to buy it anyway!!
Hours later:
Evergiven: *wanna see me do it again?*
I am sure they will do it again without even knowing it !
It was already done again in China on a motorway with an evergreen truck
Evergiven was trying to take a screenshot.
Look ma, no sails! 😀
🤣😆
This ship will be forever famous, every time it’s seen in any port people will remember this crisis lol
Lol
Yes its the only 250-tonne ship in living history that’s blown about like a paper bag🤣🤣
Change the name
@Andika Saputra yes Tumbleweed in the wind haha🤣🤣
Others with want to pass it, like freeway traffic!
The name Ever Given follows the ship-naming convention of Evergreen Marine, where ships nearly all begin with the word Ever in English and 長 in Chinese. The ship’s Chinese name 長賜輪 means long lasting/gift/(ship).
Thanks for the explanation! 長賜輪 -> cháng cì lún-> ever gift wheel?
Y.F. Cheng Will be rolling in his grave after finding out about this ship
Ever Golden, Ever Genius, Ever Gifted, Ever Glory, Ever Globe,Ever Goods, Ever Grade, Ever Gentie, Ever Govern,Ever Greet, and Ever Given.
@NebTheWeb and now after this incident, call sign is changed to “ever forgiven” and it’s new sister ship “never forgotten”
2 minutes of silence for those ships who took another route
There are said to be over 300 ships waiting. It might take quite a while for them to eventually pass through the canal.
@jean campbell 367 vessels are waiting to go
😂😂😂 best comment ever
