Stranded in the Suez Canal

I have searched the site for what I had hoped would be a learned discussion on how to move the Evergreen box and get the canal opened.
Back in the day, we would certainly have had that debate on the old SN site.
If it is on this site it is well hidden, from me at least.
It seems to me that a ship with this vast area exposed to strong gusty winds was travelling far too fast, master and pilot very much at fault?
I have just heard an 'expert' on tv news saying it would have to be unloaded!
My solution would be plastic explosives to blow the bulbous bow, rudder and screw (or whatever else the ship is snagged on) off.
It will be interesting to see how the job is actually done.
Any ideas lads??
If you had a box ship somewhere near Singapore today, bound for Rotterdam, what course would you set?
