Evergiven
 

She is due to enter the Suez Canal today, no doubt with very senior SCA pilots on board. Good luck and Bon voyage this time.

4 tugs and a JCB on Stand By.

Given the damage we saw last time, perhaps we could put a woolly glove on the bucket of the JCB. :p

According to the Guardian newspaper she has cleared the canal and is now heading towards the Red Sea, what a load of rubbish he should be sacked. She was accompanied by two tugs.

I assume that the Guardian are referring to her southbound transit on the way to the repair yard.

Just a bit behind with the news...

Sorry for the duff information I never read the date on the paper, you are correct it was outbound they were referring too. My apologies.

Southbound!!! Shirley not, she is carrying all of Tesco's Christmas Cards.

Still heading in the right direction ES.
And don't call me Shirley.:p

She is now heading for Rotterdam. The SCA will shortly be increasing dues by 6% to transit the canal

I presume that the 6% increase is to enable them to claw back their losses while the canal was blocked?

Perhaps they want to buy a bigger JCB.

Now clear and into the Med.
They won’t the digger this time.

Which Digger ? , the one from NSW ?.

No, a Chinese rip-off of one of Mr Bamford’s excellent machines.:smoking:

Evergiven now in Rotterdam, at least she made it with no mishaps, cutting it a bit fine to get her cargo into the shops for Christmas.

Won't be out the Dock Gate much before Valentines Day.
Probably.
