The big vessel is unstuck and being stabilized. https://www.cnet.com/news/suez-cana...need-to-know-about-the-ever-given-drama/

That went quicker than I thought it would have. I would have bet another week of digging the nose out in that sand.

I bet Iran has a good idea of what they'll do soon.

I am guessing there will be a pair of tugs stationed at those single sections you will have to have a tug escort going through. if you loose power they can keep you moving.

sort of like the rose bowl parade you have 30 seconds to get your float started or they dispatch the tow truck every float has to have the same hitch on the front in 90 seconds they have the parade running again.

the Panama canal has special pilots that get on your vessel at one end and off at the other they have final say in everything and handle the communications with the locks and control.

Cost to the global economy 9+billon $ per day. I’ll bet the light bulb has lit in the heads of some terrorists. Hmmm, maybe we can close down both the Suez and the Panama Canal at the same time ?
