Come Sail Away With Ever Given (as she departs Egypt) | What's Going on With Shipping & the Suez?

On this episode of What's Going on With Shipping (and the Suez), Sal Mercogliano - Associate Professor of History at Campbell University, former merchant mariner, and adjunct professor of Maritime Industry Policy at the US Merchant Marine Academy - discusses the departure of MV Ever Given from Egypt as she sails to Rotterdam.

Issues include the negotiations between the Suez Canal Authority and the owner of Ever Given, Shoei Kisan. We discuss the record profits that the Suez Canal experienced in 2020-21, even with the closure due to Ever Given for six days. There is also a summary of the events leading up to the grounding, her salvage, and a review of past videos on Ever Given.

Another excellent video on Evergiven & details on interaction between Suez canal bosses & P&I club (cargo) insurers, ship (multiple) owners & related info on shipyard building vessels, leasing to conglomerates...on and on! Great info and referencing where to get more onsite into marine shipping. My uncle was a merchant marine, so I have an interest in the subject. Incredible just how huge, international & interrelated this business of trade has become. Thx for your recognition that the average person has no clue how this works, when it got started...first navy...how it has evolved. Just an enormous subject matter. Thanks again Sal, carry on sir!👍👍👍🍷

She's from yesterday in front of the huge port of Augusta, crew change or bunker or provisions...!

Sal, the Captain told Elvis that Ever Given couldn't go any faster with Elvis water skiing behind. Were gonna stop at the "Rock" and get some better fuel!

Reuters article July 11, 2021 - Suez Canal Revenue Hits Record $5.84 Billion. Interesting to see reaction to enlarging canal and ship builders constructing larger ships. It would be interesting to see cost / benefit presentation that justified upgrades.
Let’s see if Lessons Learned lead to improvements in overall Suez Canal and other restricted waters safety or will they just be Lessons Observed.

Ok, so some of those containers must have held perishable goods. How will those be handled? Will they be handled in the port or will containers with rotten stinking stuff go the the intended recipient? For non-perishable stuff, has insurance paid for that or are the recipients justhappy to get later than not at all?

[jamesclapp]

is there a ship yard in northern Europe that can handle this vessel?

Any idea why she is stopped off Italy?? Been there for a couple days? Waiting for favorable weather?
Seems to be 25kts head winds below Italy and isn't forecast to calm down till Thursday
