The Ever Given has been freed from the Egyptian white collar pirates and is on its way now. Freed with a ceremony but what’s there to celebrate? It seems that the owners have paid 540 million US dollars and donated a tug for the one lost during the operation. The destination was originally Rotterda…

I agree. But if you don’t stop the leak with a cement box, the cargo and equipment will be damaged, and you will sink.

I do not concur, a ship with one hole will not sink these days. I thought that you were savvy with ships. For modern ships this will not happen providing that only one cargo hold has a hole, as they are designed to survive such an eventuality. The science behind the design is complicated but simply …

Anyway, EG has passed the canal and is now heading somewhere. I think she is part loaded, i.e. not in ballast, and will head for some container hub somewhere to get rid of the boxes. ETA 17 September Qingdao, China.

Good Day. Your points noted with thanks. As I do not consider myself competent to discuss all the meanders of an ancient GA rules , hence i will limit myself to share what I have read and collected/saved on the issue of GA in case of CMA CGM Libra. One must admit it is a fascinating case. The c…

It seems EG is slow speeding back to China ETA Qingdao 18 September. At the same time I am told that freight rates are sky high … so I cannot understand the situation. I am still curious how much owners paid to get out of the Suez Canal. Any ideas?

Now EG has arrived Qingdao and anchored outside. No info about any shipyard visits, hull repairs in drydock, etc. Maybe they will offload some T/FEUs and reload and return to Europe. I still wonder what happened in the Suez Canal.

25 september EG is still at anchor! Imagine that this ship stopped world trade one week in the Suez Canal this summer and is now waiting to unload the cargo.

I believe that the vessel is in ballast trim, off hire and heading for docking in Qingdao.

They’re worried the front might fall off so they are taking it out of the environment.
