I'll bet there's many a shipping office breathing a huge sigh of relief!
If you want to have a go at navigating a boat through, https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2021/03/cnnix-steership/?fbclid=IwAR2wuSpIvgJ-_cqGwpizOx4vqs8P4-m2kA4bcaRl0yI0bYGbR3cYSD_Smzc
I wonder how many bikes are on that ship?
Well, it's pretty long, so I guess the crew might have them for getting around. Maybe six or seven? Unless they have skateboards...
b'dum tish !
Thats brilliant lunge! I got 1000 m then a gust of wind took me and I crashed

I got it through on the 4th attempt, but it was not smooth path and I doubt I'll be getting a call for Maersk anytime soon!

Free MemberAccording to the news as soon as tides allow (about now actually) it’s going to be moved to a wider part of the canal that has a holding area and traffic will then be allowed to flow.
You'd assume they'll want to do some inspections of the canal first as well- lots of potential for sediment/sand in the wrong place.
It'd be the funniest thing in the history of the world if the next ship through gets grounded on a sandbar created by dragging this one around with tugs, though.
Looks like it’s open already , 3rd vessel heading south is an Evergreen, no pressure Captain

I’ve just been told my new bike won’t be ready until late May due to waiting on Shimano groupset! Ordered in Jan for delivery I’m April. I’m thinking my drivetrains on that boat 😡
Comments on above mentioned PB article include the following:
"General average clause
The general average clause in ocean marine insurance obligates the insurers of various interests to share the cost of losses incurred voluntarily to save the voyage from complete destruction. Such sacrifices must be made voluntarily, must be necessary, and must be successful. For example, if a shipper’s cargo is voluntarily jettisoned in a storm in order to save the vessel from total loss, the general average clause requires the insurers of the hull and of all other cargo interests to make a contribution to the loss of the shipper whose goods were sacrificed. Other types of losses may also be covered. It has been held, for example, that losses suffered from efforts to put out a fire on shipboard, which result in damage to specific goods, can be included in a general average claim. Similarly, losses from salvage efforts to free a stranded vessel may qualify under a general average claim to which all interests must contribute."
Not sure exactly how this will play out.

I might get my bike parts I’ve been waiting on now!!
I am waiting for stuff possibly on the Evergiven. A set of spoon carving knives ordered after watching the Repair Shop bloke on Good morning Britain or somesuch. They obviously didn't turn up in time so I cancelled the order and got refunded.
If they were now to arrive what is the usual course of action?
