Pilots know the local waterway but not the vessel
It was a test.
Egyptians. Say no more
IF U WILL Pay 1 BILLION DOLLARS for IKEA FURNITURE u need to be stuck sideways in the Suez
Egyptian pilots are known for both corruption and blackmail of ships that travel through the Suez. Maersk made a money deal with Egypt to fuck off or loose the business entirely.
I never knew it happened like that!
Also, the biggest thing we can learn from this is that 'just in time' logistics is a stupid idea and you need to carry inventory on site. This caused a worldwide shortage of cardboard.
During the corns virus I lost 75% of my Bisbee and the evergiven incedint was the final nail in the coffin 5 years of hard work and many sacrifice by my loyel employees have went the way of the wend now I am a Menomonie wage employee
This my second failed business I lost the first one dou to war in serya
I don't even know if I will ever get the chance to start again I have lost all my derams
But I still have my wonderful wife and children
kinda smart as well if they did settle and get a tug boat on top of the money, long as its a good one thats a huge help to operations
Funny they sue when they allowed the ships entrance being fully aware of the storm and their pilots obviously were in control ,if it can be called that. I had a strong suspicion that this was indeed the situation.
Just found your channel .Watched a couple films.Well Done. NEW SUB
I wonder what the law says about the importer. If you have a just in time production policy, who pays for the breakdown in your supply chain. Can one sue the carrier for loss in production/ income
Really glad to have found you. It would be nice to have a platform in which we would be able to voice our theories about why or what went behind the scenes in regards to some of these events – considering that there are so few details about them to be found in the proverbial "open waters".
Canal ownership hand over to Egypt was a blender mistake
I don’t think they can legally keep the crew on the boat can they? That’s similar to holding someone against their will? I can see doing that to the captain but not the other crew, idk that’s just weird to me
I like that they asked for one tug boat.. 😂 they like we getting our moneys worth, and now we can all get a bonus this year.
No. Being too fvcking cheap to use guiding tugs for WHEN, not if, one of these ships gets loose. Ohh too much money now eh? Are we using guiding tugs now? I bet not. Unreal.
My fallout ncr flag was on that boat😑
Just wondering how much these ships are and the cargo on it? More then 1B? Thats alot to pay to get it back, would it be better off just to let them have it.
On purpose
"The first ship to go through the canal after the ever given had the chance to do the funiest thing in human history" -Someone funnier than me
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!
I love your channel. But chill with this music. Just throw on one earie tune and don’t throw in dramatic buildups or do it when it should be there. I don’t wanna hear a buildup for nothing
Imagine being so bad at your job that you broke the global economy
Still on board?scary
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'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 quality of your research content and production are top notch as always 😊
Suez Canal charges 500.000$ for a journey just to pass, one way journey insane
Ps Nike and Lenovo are just some small clients
They mentioned putting (presumably loaded) containers in a lake.
Did they mean put them on a ship in the lake or were they just throwing loaded containers in a lake, presumably writing off whatever was in them?
Why do you keep saying "Evergiven" while showing "evergreen?"
Man, i dig this channel. There whole lotta shit i know nothing about and this channel is one of them..
Some one failed Steering Big Ships 101
A convient accident for the governments that were looking for an excuse for coming economic downturn thanks to their massive printing of currently and terrible tyranical policy shutting down business and supply chains…
If you can't even remember the name of the ship at the beginning of the video, you suck.
Ship is too big to handled can cause destruction.
New ship coming 2024…the everstuck
No bow thrusters to assist steering ?
As the ships get bigger this is a lesson, the Ever Given is not the biggest, amongst them though, that the bigger they are the easier it is for wind to move them.
The pilots were squarely at fault IMO, they need to be retrained to handle the big ships.
If the Egyptian pilot is at fault, then why did the Suez Canal authorities put a huge penalty on Evergreen Shipping Company.
Oneis forced to feel that the two "pilots" were in fact former "bum-boat" boys from Port Said promoted beyond their capabilities!
It's simply obscene the size of these ships flooding the world with more useless junk
I rember 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!
Pure stupidity. The ship was screwed by idiot pilots. Face reality Fgs!
It makes no sense to demand for compensation if the cause of the incident was just a natural disaster.
Ever Jammed
Yep, that would be the Egyptians for sure. We're going to f up your shite and then after that we're going to kidnap it and hold it hostage…
pay up biatches
Wasn’t it the pilots the ones that got the ship stuck
…isn't it the EverGREEN…?
As far as I'm concerned this was done intentionally. They wanted to put the hurt on people during this time when supplies were already scarce.
