    A gust of wind caused it! Steering worn, wrong tyre pressures, tracking out???

  8. Don't you have a pilot on board when traversing Suez?

    The ship owners arent looking forward to being held financially responsible for blocking global trade in that way.

    It may need to be partly unloaded before it comes unstuck.

    Just another post Brexit price hike on goods coming to us through the Canal, along with delays and shortages of far eastern products.

    Just like 1973 again.

    Just ram another container ship into it. That should shift it!

  18. If there was, the Pilot is responsible, not the Captain, as far as I know.

    The captain forgot it wasn't a sail boat and tried to tack upwind ;)
