So, the #SuezCanal is blocked...
Massive container ship EVER GIVEN stuck in the most awkward way possible.
Ongoing for hours. Every tug Egypt could spare appear to be trying to pull it free.

#SuezCanal plug? Ultra big. MV#EVERGIVEN Size: 400m long / 59m wide Gross tonnage: 219,079 Capacity: 20,388 TEUs (20ft container equivalents). One of the largest container ships in operation.pic.twitter.com/rJunpJrAKE

Another update:
#SuezCanal waiting areas & anchorages have filled right up (I added some arrows.. look for green dashes) For the confused: MV EVER GIVEN's operator is Evergreen Marine (https://www.evergreen-line.com ) and Ever___ is a naming convention for some vessels.pic.twitter.com/AsFEwixvr4

NARRATOR: the all-important
#SuezCanal lets ships bypass the historically treacherous Horn of Africa... ... to mariners, canal officials have a historic reputation for 'appreciating' cartons of cigarettes...earning it the nickname "Marlboro Canal"pic.twitter.com/TXmC6v5nje

1:30 AM Egypt Time Update: screws are turning & helm moving but...

Update:
#EVERGIVEN still hard aground. Reports from logistics company GAC say cause of grounding was a blackout. This is worst-nightmare material when doing a canal transit. Source: https://www.gac.com/news--media/hot-port-news/container-ship-grounded2/ …pic.twitter.com/NaHovOiu3D

Effect on oil prices? Yes, likely temporary says head of commodities at ING.* (~10% of global seaborne traded oil transits Suez & SUMED . ~9% of LNG.) So, what if this closure persists... *Source: https://news.yahoo.com/oil-extends-losses-rising-u-234416011.html …pic.twitter.com/tCiHAcb2f3

If for some reason the
#SuezCanal blockage persists, shipping can divert. Some oil will still flow through SUMED, but for everything else: global logistics madness. For example, US EIA calculates that a US tanker from KSA would add ~2,700 miles. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=32352 …pic.twitter.com/CWEKuM6jfL

Errata: nothing like a nit in a fun thread to bug me to no end... I inadvertently left on the cutting room floor NARRATOR saying "AND the Cape of Good Hope."
No wonder I had so many chars to work with..
Also, #EverGiven is still stuck.https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1374488621319823364 …

OUF: new pics suggest the
#EVERGIVEN might have impaled the canal shore with its bulbous bow. Wild if true. Bulbous bows look weird but modify how water flows around the bow, making ships more efficient. Cant find credits on pics 1&2, 3 is shipbuilder Samusung Heavy Industries.pic.twitter.com/9c5CLgw3aa

INBOX: seeking expert for media thing about
#EVERGIVEN ME: I'm not the maritime industry insider you need. DETAIL: In college I briefly had the ambition to become a captain. Read the materials & crewed summers (e.g. tall ships) to build sea time for a license. Then moved on.Näytä tämä ketju -
