      Apparently they dredged 30,000t of sand and were able to move the EverGiven 30 degrees but could not finish the removal Saturday. There is now water flowing under the ship... they were estimating Sunday evening likely removal time.

        30 meters closer to floating again.

        "When the water comes up PUSH!! Or PULL!" Which ever side of the beast you're on...

        Gotta wonder how/if those changes in water level cause any flex in the center of that ship. Pretty significant variability in flotation, it would suggest to an uninformed me.

          Does the ship take off right away if they get it floated. i would think it would need an inspection somewhere along the line.

          Maybe they can take it out of the channel first because it doesnt look like another ship can pass by it even if they straighten it out.

            Thinking back on the all of the topics that members of Agriville have turned out to be experts in, it never ceases to amaze me.

            We have many experts on climate, not terribly surprising considering that as farmers ( some of us anyways), weather and climate are mightily important, so we keep ourselves informed.

            We seem to have even more experts on energy, again, considering that many members work in an ( not necessarily THE) energy industry, or even have their own generation, this is to be expected.

            But then, a pandemic broke out, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that within our ranks there exists countless medical experts, infectious disease and even vaccine experts, I never would have guessed that we would be so well rounded in our areas of expertise.

            And now, as it turns out, in addition to all of the above, most of us are also specialists in issues regarding maritime shipping and canals. In fact, it appears that a few of us could have freed this ship already, if only we were given the opportunity. Imagine that, a bunch of farmers from land locked provinces having such intimate and in depth knowledge of ocean going vessels.

            I am truly in awe of the knowledge bank that is Agriville.

                I am pretty sure my neighbor would love to hook on with his Quadtrac fleet and giver a try.

                  The immensity of this ship is mind boggling.

                    A great feed account to watch for this event, front line participant, it appears.

                    Also, 7 vessels loaded with 92,000 livestock that were supposed to arrive to Aqaba on March 21 are stranded at Suez Canal.

                    Desperately need a breakthrough. Something.

                        "Operation Backtwist" - More detail from one of the most informative sources available, Juan Browne with the Blancolirio channel.

                        This episode tells us the tonnage bedded up on the bank and how much pulling power is required to dislodge it - hint: more than what is available. Also, it appears that there is some leakage occurring, although manageable...

                          Good news, bad news. Good news, a bit more movement. Bad news, still stuck.

                            BREAKING : EVER GIVEN ship has been UNSTUCK & Moving into #Suez Canal after 6 Days!! Egyptian crew managed to float it moments ago. It’s 5:42 am there:
