Ever Given#rudder freed from the sediment, but the ship's still stuck in the Suez Canal

The massive container ship wedged in the Suez Canal achieved a fleeting success on Friday night, but the vessel remains stuck for the foreseeable future, officials said Saturday.

Workers made "significant progress" and managed to release the ship's rudder from the sediment, a spokesperson for Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, the technical manager of the ship, told Insider in a statement.

But the port side of the ship's bow remains stuck in the sand and mud, the spokesperson said, noting that 11 tugboats were working throughout Saturday alongside dredging operations to clear the sediment.

i would horizontal bore a few pipelines under the front of the ship and pump water into it. The water will fluidize the sand under the ship. The sand will behave like a fluid and the sand will let go of the ship. Pull the ship free.

I would use ropes attached to multiple tugboats and pull the ship free.if they use my idea I will charge them 6million dollars. Quite the bargain.
