It is hard to vision what this 30 degrees actually means..

I agree. Can someone do a diagram? (I’m hungover and helpless).

If they have managed to move it a bit I would recommend wiggling it back and forth.

I expect coordinating 14 tugs to wiggle it might prove tricky though

30 degrees movement. It’s still wedged on both sides. Maybe wedged deeper.

It sounds a bit more positive than that.

General Osama Rabie, Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, said that water had started running underneath the vessel.

"We expect that at any time the ship could slide and move from the spot it is in," he told a press conference.

It will be hard to apply force evenly, at the right moment and at the right pressure, it’s best a pull and shove. Plus when they dredge they need to get the sand out in a manner that does not stress the hull when they push and shove.

The engineer in me thinks they are having a laugh.

That article was the one I read this morning. It smacks of Egyptian government information management in their traditional manner e.g. make up any old shit.

Ensure all the salvage crews and tug crews speak different languages. That will help get the “pull!” command done right.

One report this morning asserted the engines had been started and the prop engaged.

I can’t find this now. I’m suspicious of this somehow.

The tugs seemed to be having a honking good time ...

maybe there was "some" movement, but the EG is still stuck !

(I am not convinced that I should believe that "30degress" at all, maybe a couple of inches / feet, but it really looks to be in the same place)

Evergreen Truck Blocks Chinese Motorway Just Days After Evergreen Ship Jams Suez Canal

<p>The word ‘Evergreen’ will likely now be forever associated with chaos, after a truck carrying one of the company’s shipping containers caused a traffic jam just days after an Evergreen ship got lodged in the Suez Canal. By now we’re probably all familiar with the sight of the huge ship...

We can work this out. Length of ship then rotated on a central axis by 30 degrees would equal x feet.

I say we but I mean one of you.

" Currently we (Maersk and partners) have three vessels stuck in the canal and 27 vessels waiting to enter the canal, with two more expected to reach the blockage today. "

Good. Maersk are a bunch of cunts who have made their ships bigger while making their crew space smaller consistently over the last 30 years.

Yup, this is a state where promotion in the military relies on your ability to submit a budget proposal in the style of tenant farmers: I'll give you £X upfront, and £Y annually, and I'll get it by using Z methods.

Everything is about how much you can shuffle upwards - everyone in the chain wants a cut.

Very good. Bury the lot in sand and leave it for future generations to puzzle over.

That looks quite nice - visually more interesting than the boring old stone pyramids. I've been wondering why they don't build a giant conveyor belt stretching from end to end of the canal - ships could unload their containers at one end, and the boxes could then be collected by another ship at the other. They could abandon the stuck ship where it is until it eventually rusts away to nothing.

There’d be a risk of planes landing on it.

That'd be OK - the planes would be carried along the non-stop conveyor and dumped into the sea at the other end. They won't do it twice.

She's worth a follow if you like ships and shit.

There would be a big pile of planes in the Med, cos once they land they won’t be able to take off again
