Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Yeah, I saw that. The tugs were pulling it up to a large lake area in the canal for some inspections.Wonder how quick they'll start moving traffic through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 maybe they could dredge the canal a little bit ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 9 hours ago, Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 said: I wonder what they will do to prevent this happening again Widen that section to two lanes like the other parts of the canal. Otherwise require ships that are longer than the Channel width to not enter the single lane section when cross wind velocity makes these monster ships difficult to stay in the channel. Another option would be to require escort by tractor tug(s) in the single lane sections. Widening the canal would be the long term solution.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Simple solution: Since it was the ship's engines failing that caused the ship to lose control and ground itself, why don't they just demand a reeeally big outboard, be attached before the ship enters the canal. Don't bother to thank me and remember I'm here all week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The follow-on article with this was talking about an impending toilet paper shortage (again). Evidently Brazil produces 20% of the world supply of pulp for TP, and these shipping problems are aggravating the supply of pulp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
