      Star Simpson Retweeted Lloyd's Loading List

      According to Lloyd’s, the Ever Given remains wedged in the Suez Canal one day later:https://twitter.com/lloydsloading/status/1374750263618199553 …

      Aside from the “but who would pay”question, I wonder at what point it would be economically expedient to unload the Ever Given with helicopters (for example a fleet of Sikorsky Sky Cranes could manage this) to assist in re-floating.

      This makes it look like removing containers would not be the foremost challenge in what’s currently required to refloat Ever Given:https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1374597391463120896 …

      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

      🏴‍☠️😳😬 Looks like ships loitering in the Gulf of Aden are posting ward-off messages in their posted statuses:https://twitter.com/lemonodor/status/1374803809696817154 …

      Today I learned that it is common for cargo ships to broadcast warnings to pirates via ad hoc use of the "destination" field in AIS messages. Here's a bulk carrier sailing through the Gulf of Aden, broadcasting "ARMED GUARD ONBOARD". pic.twitter.com/zPhYJPqDUC
