Just to make matters worse, as if blocking a major shipping route weren't enough, there are large military maneuvers going on in the area. There are some tinfoil-hat, q-spiracy threads going on about it out there in the alt-webs.

I heard that it's just a ploy. That's a known good mahi-mahi fishing area and it was the only way to fish it....

Well, at some point everyone's made the wrong move in their career, but the captain really pulled a boner on this one. He may have been cock-sure of himself before, but management may really give him the shaft for being such a tool.

He sure cocked it up didn't he? Should have kept his eye on the ball. Are they going to keep the crew onboard until they get it unstuck? That's a lot of sea men to keep all pent up like that.

I'm going to guess that captain will not be heard from again.

Do we know the country that ship is from?

Evergreen is the shipping company leasing the ship. The ship's name is Ever Given. They apparently named all of their 20-ship fleet "Ever G*".

The ship is owned by a Japanese company named Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd.

Evergreen Delivery is owned by The Hartford, a U.S. based, publicly traded insurance and investment company.

Too bad the Suez Canal isn't like downtown Portland....
..... that ship would have been looted, stolen, stripped and sold for parts by now!
(or, taxed out of existence)
