    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That's a pretty sweet parking job
    Looks like it might have stayed upright all the way down which was pretty lucky for them

    How long before NZ companies start using this for a excuse why freight is held up overseas?

    ok...so is the pointy end pointed up stream or downstream???? doesnt really matter.......what happens if they get in lots of big heavy earth moving machinery and sort of dig channel around tip of downstream end,say 50-100 yards wide and let water get in ,around and do the rest,eg flow past/through and start eating the soil away from hull,would it allow it to budge and pop front end back out into flow and away it goes....or opposite way around depending on ships direction....
    one excavator wont move much but fifty D8s and bigger have one hell of a lot of pull combined....always a way if you have long enough bit of rope LOL

    I don't see it as an "upstream or down stream" flow. The Mediterranean end of the Suez ship canal is about a meter or forty inches lower than the Red Sea end so the trend is from south to north. There are some strange tides however that can stall and even reverse the flow with the help of unsettled weather in the region.

    Of concern is an aspect many have not even considered. A report.

    "........Data from freight tracking website Marine Traffic indicates that 11 of the delayed container ships are carrying cattle, sheep and other livestock, while the Australia-based NGO Animals International has identified a further nine, according to The Guardian.
    Marine Traffic spokesperson Georgios Hatzimanolis said three of the carriers, the Omega Star, the Unimar and the Sea Star, “appear to be stuck at various points in the canal” rather than queuing for entry.
    Gerit Weidinger, EU coordinator for Animals International, said the Unimar and Omega Star appear to have left Spain on 15 March and 16 March respectively while a further nine of the boats were loaded in Romania earlier this month.




    While the animals aboard are not in immediate danger, the prospect of the rescue effort to free the Ever Given taking several weeks to accomplish poses serious questions about their welfare."

    It’s going to really interesting how this plays out if the salvors can’t free this ship in the next few days.
    Already the General in charge of the canal is saying that don’t discount other factors beside the wind.
    Photos of a 30 year old digger moving sand from around the bow of the ship tells part of the story.
    You would think that part of the average transiting fee of $250k US would pay for some up keep.
    19,000 vessels transited the Suez Canal last year x $250k = $4.75 billion, how much of that goes sideways into someone’s back pocket.

    Yes quite a lot I would say. Apparently not leaving enough for contingency plans and equipment should this happen.
