In our port, pilots are in charge of berthing/unberthing, but if anything goes amiss, they are not responsible. I find this extremely unfair for the vessels, as pilotage is compulsory.
-
It's incredible that the suez canal authority had the audacity to blame the vessel for the incompetence of their own pilots. The vessel should never have been allowed to enter the canal with such high winds.
-
The suez canal port authority is like a mafia
-
As a freight forwarder I still get chills when someone mentions Ever Given, it really threw our whole work upside down. I even had a container on that ship for a customer... dude wasn't happy lol
-
It doesn't get mentioned much, but, shortly after this, a different Evergreen Marine container ship ventured out of a marked channel in the Chesapeake, and, grounded.
-
Last dialogue heard on the bridge: "I'll bet you can't make a u-turn here" "Hold my beer!"
-
I love all the pics of that single digger next to the gigantic Evergiven... quite emblematic of the whole debacle. There are so many lessons here yet sadly few seem to have learnt from it. Great video as always 👍
-
Seems pretty scummy that they sued over what was essentially their own pilot's errors... Also, I just found your channel a few hours ago and I've been binge watching like crazy! This is great content, keep up the good work!
-
Well done putting it all together, never heard of the disputes the pilots had just prior to the incident.
-
Evergreen has launched a new eco-ship, it's powered by batteries. It's called the Ever Ready.
-
I remember this... They got the ship unstuck with little or no damage to the ship, nor the cargo it was carrying... However, while it was stuck, it stopped ALL shipping, including other massive freighters and container carriers dead in their tracks in the Suez for 6 days, resulting in HUGE delays and setbacks that cost billions in losses per day!
-
What I found intriguing was how that trading route blockage affected the planets consumption. I live in rural Canada with a tiny supermarket that even had missing/delayed products. Not from Ever Given but the hold up of other ships. Let's hope the bad guys don't figure that out.
-
Getting paid for a disaster caused by your own incompetence. Nice scam when you can pull it off.
-
What a disaster this was. I knew sailors that were stuck in the canal. To say they were angry is an understatement . Totally changed the worlds shipping routes, and showed how important that canal really is ....
-
I had car parts enroute from Japan for my new car that got damaged (2 months after owning it I hit a racoon that destroyed the front bumper) Mitsubishi ended up explaining to me, that me and other people waiting for these parts that we could only get from Japan as they just had gotten these facelifts on the market in a rush. That we were stuck waiting a few months before we could get the parts as those parts in transit were sitting on a ship waiting to get unloaded thanks to that ship!
-
Another fantastic, informative story. I learn new information that I never had a clue of with every story you do. Can't get enough. Thanks 😉😉
-
"Well, dammit, I DID ask if that was MY left for YOUR left!"
-
I finally understand what happened! Thank you!
-
I'm still just amazed at how big these ships are now...
