So, the #SuezCanal is blocked...

Massive container ship EVER GIVEN stuck in the most awkward way possible.

Ongoing for hours. Every tug Egypt could spare appear to be trying to pull it free.

 "Is there a traffic jam?" Answer 👇https://t.co/vD2GYX2bAG
Latest update: the EVER GIVEN is... still ever-jammed across the #SuezCanal.

Also, a teeny excavator tried to help.

Thanks @rmcfadzean for surfacing the pic!

How soon till one of the big Dutch salvage companies shows up for an ultra-premium re-floating?

Also: forget #iceroadtruckers, marine salvage YouTube is where it's at.
https://t.co/C2hzZWrGJQ
Update: still stuck.

How big is this #SuezCanal plug? Ultra big.

MV #EVERGIVEN
Size: 400m long / 59m wide
Gross tonnage: 219,079
Capacity: 20,388 TEUs (20ft container equivalents).

One of the largest container ships in operation.
Another update: #SuezCanal waiting areas & anchorages have filled right up (I added some arrows.. look for green dashes)

For the confused: MV EVER GIVEN's operator is Evergreen Marine (https://t.co/ROoStEAGmk) and Ever___ is a naming convention for some vessels.
The pic we have comes from insta user fallenhearts17, who is on the @Maersk MV DENVER, stuck right behind MV EVER GIVEN.

Sincerely hope she posts again, Egyptian twitter shows up, or...if you know someone else on the DENVER, drop them a line!

@Maersk NARRATOR: the all-important #SuezCanal lets ships bypass the historically treacherous Horn of Africa...

... to mariners, canal officials have a historic reputation for 'appreciating' cartons of cigarettes...earning it the nickname "Marlboro Canal"
1:30 AM Egypt Time Update: screws are turning & helm moving but... #EVERGIVEN appears to be in the same spot.

Austin-powers-stuck-in-tunnel vibe is getting stronger.

I feel for this crew, & the tugboat operators. Nobody is getting any sleep.
OH NO: misfortune's unerring aim touched #EVERGIVEN's track as it departed the designated anchorage and steamed into the Canal.

(innocent, but terrible luck)

AIS data playback of the #SuezCanal the moment things went very, very wrong for the #EVERGIVEN...and then rest of global shipping.

By @TankerTrackers
Update: #EVERGIVEN still hard aground.

Reports from logistics company GAC say cause of grounding was a blackout.

This is worst-nightmare material when doing a canal transit.

Effect on oil prices? Yes, likely temporary says head of commodities at ING.*

(~10% of global seaborne traded oil transits Suez & SUMED . ~9% of LNG.)

So, what if this closure persists...

*Source: https://t.co/LgazpjlSdm
If for some reason the #SuezCanal blockage persists, shipping can divert.

Some oil will still flow through SUMED, but for everything else: global logistics madness. For example, US EIA calculates that a US tanker from KSA would add ~2,700 miles.

Errata: nothing like a nit in a fun thread to bug me to no end...

I inadvertently left on the cutting room floor NARRATOR saying "AND the Cape of Good Hope."👇

No wonder I had so many chars to work with..

Also, #EverGiven is still stuck.

https://t.co/6AAZa5wciV
OUF: new pics suggest the #EVERGIVEN might have impaled the canal shore with its bulbous bow. Wild if true.

Bulbous bows look weird but modify how water flows around the bow, making ships more efficient.

Cant find credits on pics 1&2, 3 is shipbuilder Samusung Heavy Industries.

After the phenomenon called Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati came another one - Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha [1954-1989] the 35th Jagadguru. Srinivasa was born on Nov 13, 1917. He was initiated into Sanyasa by Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati in 1931. He was Jagadguru for 35 years.

He was chosen and specifically trained to take over Peetadhipatyam from Sri Mahaswami. He is majorly responsible for the way Sringeri currently is. He built various buildings for devotees, Gajashala, Gooshala etc.

Acharya on conversions:
Once a person approached Sri Acharya that some other religions are trying to convert Hindus and requested Sri AVT to do prevent these conversions.

AVT replied - what do u mean by religion? Religion i.e. mata is related to 'mati' or intellect.
Caste is called 'jAti' which is related to janana or birth.
Ex- breed of a cow. we cannot change its qualities to resemble another breed by changing its name.

MUST READ TILL END:
FB POST BY MR PRABEER BASU,
IAS-1976(BIHAR)
" Received a hurtful post from an old friend and colleague. He was on my daily Broadcast list of WhatsApp. He requested that I do not send him any of my posts on 'political' issues. I gave him a long explaination
>2

2/29
on why I write and what I write. But he was not convinced.

Being alerted by him thus, I felt I should clarify to all who read my posts on what exactly I think and do.

The charge against me is that I wrongly support our current Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi..
>3

3/29
and that it establishes I am not rational and impartial anymore.
Let me try and explain.First and foremost,I do not write on 'political' issues. I write on 'national' issues. For example, I have no opinion on whether Rahul Gandhi should be President of his party or not.

Similarly, I have no views whether BJP is a better party than Congress or vice versa.
Even after 36 years in the IAS I have no MLA, MP or anyone involved in politics whom I can classify as my friend or even acquaintance.

So, naturally I don't care which party wins or loses as long as the winning party runs an honest government doing good to my nation.
Now, why I speak in favour of Shri Modi:

1. Ever since the beginning of my service I realised that Planning Commission was not serving..

Lately there have been various rumours in the media about myself and Jumbo in relation to Williams. To clarify things, Jumbo is not and will not invest any money in my career. 1/2

Of course we’re collectively looking at career opportunities, however this is certainly not our philosophy and strategy. I hope to announce my future plans soon, be patient 😉 2/2
