- Mv Ever Given is blocking the Suez canal - why can't they just pull it out or dig it out? Why will this last a long time.
I will explain the problem in this video. I hope you like the video.
In the picture you see Evergreen stuck in the Suez canal.

“That’s what she said!”
Great content and explanation is spot on
“The ships have become bigger but the technology to support them hasn’t caught up ‘“ and also the crew keeps shrinking to keep the cost down.
That, and the canal has stayed virtually the same size while container ships have grown exponentially.
Well smaller crews is a natural result of more automation and technology no?
Stop unhealthy human expansion
Crews are on standby that could bag, inflate and float the front end of that ship, but NOBODY IS CALLING THEM. Why?!!?!!?!!?
They are too big now. Too big for the canals and ports they go into. Something like this was bound to happen.

What was their velocity when they ran aground? How quickly did that dust storm arise? Wouldn't trying to greatly reduce speed and even trying to stop, drop anchor and call for tug boat support be standard operating procedure for such a ship in the canal in a dust storm?

Use a Gold Dredge. It has a chain of large buckets that continuously dredges material away from the bow where it can be removed by barge. Commonly used in the US in rivers in the past.
The narrow canal makes it difficult to use many towboats - as correctly said in the video. However the narrow canal also means that there is land close to the ship's stern, where is is relatively easy to install many land-based towing winches and pull the ship from the oposite side of the land. With a quick search i found that winches with pulling force of 600 tones (www.kongsberg.com/maritime/products/deck-machinery-and-cranes/deck-machinery/tug-vessels/towing-winches-tugs/) are available, so a number of 55 winches is required to achieve the total pulling force of 33000 tons. Not a small number but significantly less than the 80 Far Samson vessels. And certainly there is enough space on land to install them (perhaps there are even bigger winches available). In any case this is trully a difficult task.
I hope the teams working on this are paying close attention to the many brilliant suggestions from the internet.

@@Tarheel13 I was being sarcastic. Apparently, you didn't get it.
Pipe high pressure water into the ground where the ship is beached. Sand will undergo liquification. The sand will flow away from the area more efficiently than if you had a special excavator. You can suck up and filter the water in the area to relocate the sand, or toss it onto a section of the bank covered in 0.5-1meter sized gravel and it'd naturally filter the sand out. Small gravel drainway would prevent shore erosion from this method. Sure I may be a denizen of the internet, but I love engineering and I'm about to graduate under physics.

The simplest engineering way to dig this vessel out of it current berth is to use Venturi Jet pumps. They are used extensively in South Africa’s Deep mining operations because they are so efficient. They can dig as deep as 200 feet down, and if the walls of the hole collapse on the pump it’s simply able to carry on without being clogged, in essence creating a funnel like hole, which is exactly what is required to move this amount of sand quickly from underneath the vessel. It would likely take less than 72 hours to re-float the vessel deploying the correctly engineered Venturi bug (the thing that goes into the sand and sucks up the sand to move thousands of tons an hour) , and the super high pressure pump feeding the Venturi, all could be deployed by helicopter including the generators needed to run the pump, clearly water is not a problem so the engineering fix is relatively easy for engineers skilled in this technology.. But unfortunatly I would venture marine salvage teams have little to no experience using this technology and have yet to call on the South African experts who may well be the worlds leaders in this field by a large margin, with many years of experience move 10’s of millions tons of Sand and mud in some of the harshest and deepest working environments on the planet..
How long until hull fails? Range 1 week , months? Should they support the center somehow? Many hoses they could inflate. Need to accelerate digging.
It reminds me of the Iranian take over of the U.S. Embassy in the early 80... Israel volunteered to free the hostages as they did in Entebbe. However, Carter thought he could do a better job! He lost Iran and the Panama Canal in less than two years! Never suppose that experience can outweigh pride, ignorance, and arrogance!!!
You'd probably want several Venturi Jet pumps so that you could insure that the bow is undermined evenly. If the digging at any place under the hull lags behind too much it could create a "hill" and damage the hull. I'd also think some salvage floats and emptying the ballast tanks more could help free the ship a few hours earlier.
A question for Paul, where would the sand excavated from under the ship be discharged? Into the canal is no good unless you either have major dredges available to scoop out the sand or are able to discharge the excavated sand either into the desert well away from the canal or into a number of barges which can then haul the sand away to be dumped, probably out in the Red Sea well outside of Port Suez. Discharging into the canal will simply block the canal even after the ship is removed.
I'll try it
What do you make of the "drawing" they made before getting it stuck?
Just set charges at the bottom of the canal on the other end of the ship (not on the ship but in the water facing the ship) so the blasts can propel the end still in the water to swing around and break loose from the shore then it can float on down the canal. If it's backwards then have tugs steer it until it can turn it around.
"It's loaded, hard and too deep inside to pull it out" I mean that's understandable in all such similar scenarios.
Just call me Suez ❤

It's intentional.
@@frankh.3849 how so
@@kaibe5241 why would they block that canal intentionally? In my opinion "they" needed the canal shut down so "they" could gain access to the submarine cable hub without a lot of eyes watching what "they" are doing. The "they" is still undetermined, multiply global elite groups will profit greatly during the interim simply because they do not let a good crisis go to waste. This goes deeper than disruption of food and material supplies, this was intentionally to shut down that canal.
Title: "Why can't they pull it out?"
Me: "Do you have an idea how big that thing is..."
They did pull it out.
Yeah, but if they did it the regular way it would have just ripped a huge hole in the hull. It was super weird with like four tugs on one side, four on the other, and a couple up top. Everything was tightly coordinated. You are correct though. They did pull it out lol.
Well, I am familiar with construction equipment and I am pretty sure that there is equipment that could excavate to 30 feet (10meters) but actually only just. Any deeper and the only viable option I know of is a dragline excavator. These however have limited capacity to dig underneath anything. At this point, given the time pressures it’s probably better to figure out how many of the multiple options can be applied at once. Containers might be off loaded while the dredging goes on.
It looks huge, but people don't realise until you have been up close on a ship this size that is fully loaded you can't feel the genuine size of this monster.
It has 20,000 containers on it!!!
@@montestu5502 and most are 40 feet long.
Just look at the tractor trying to dig out the bow, and look at the size of the hull.
The tractor looks like a Matchbox toy.
@@montestu5502 It's closer to about 7.000 40" containers - just count the rows, columns, and layers. The 20.000 figure is an arbitrary 'standardized' measure for a certain volume not corresponding to actual real world containers. A bit like the whole weird imperial system...
If the hull were to start bending the ship would topple over.

@@BAGPULAINTAT Not trillions. The estimated cost is at most $10 billion/week. It would have to be stuck for two years to cost a trillion dollars.
Why not dig 200 yards ahead of the “nose” of the ship then breach the wall of the canal? With a strong pull to the rear as well as the ships power plus the liquefaction of the sand might mitigate the friction and allow for substantial less friction to dislodge the ship.
SIGN HIM UP!
Woah woah woah buddy don't go thinking about stuff and telling these geniuses how to do their job because you might have a damn good idea. It just makes to much sense for 2021.

Monday morning quarterbacks?
top choppers water works differently than land.
i feel like a nice easy way to prevent this in the future is to just make the ships have a length limit that's at least 50 ft shorter than the canal is wide
Say I always found it funny about this thing was stuck in there as long as it was. Back at world war II in Pearl harbor we attached pontoon floats on sides of ships to help not only upright them but to give them more buoyancy. I honestly don't know how we couldn't rig up a good amount of pontoons, erectus system to get some of the cargo containers off the ship, and use the tugs to shift the now lighter and much more raised ship and pull it backwards to straighten it. We did it for battleships that were full of all the equipment and ammunition while being completely flooded. With the modern technology that we have you'd think it'd be a little easier
It's quite amazing how narrow this extremely important canal is and how all these years it remained incident-free.
After seeing this video I wonder how ships never had accidents here.
This size must be banned from entering the Suez Canal including Capt Schettino..
well you have to be sober and on alert to captain a ship in resent years, and there is usually not only 1 in charge
Nah, the limit is 50 ships a day. To send more goods you have to have bigger ships

@@JapethSierra nice meme
I think 1/3 of the weight resting on the sand is too high estimation. Even if the 1/3 of the ship is resting against the sand the hull has still normal amount of buoyancy. To get 1/3 of the weight against the sand the ship should be partly out of the water so that there would be 1/3 less buoyancy left to carry the weight of the ship. And since the ship seems to be still level I think that's not the case.
they got it out
Hey
What don't they just get something like 15 tugboats to pull out the ship at an angle, and twist it out of the sand? Doing that would give you much more leverage.
I found some equations engineers have come up with to calculate the fore necessary to pull a ship like this off a sandbar. You need to break out your algebra knowledge of matrices as well as run the results of multiplying the matrices through some calculus integration. There are so many factors involved there is no way someone not involved will be able to calculate it. You need to know the actual structural layout of the ship because how much the hull is flexed matters, you need to know the sand particle size, how deep into the sand it is, and about 20 more variables. Needles to say that's just to pull a ship straight off a sand bar. This ship can't be pulled either direction. It needs to be freed up so it can be turned.
Though from my personal experience as a recovery specialist in the army pulling stuck tanks and trucks out of the mud it can take a surprisingly large amount of force to pull something out of sand/mud even if it has wheels on it. Enough force that you'd likely put a hole in the ship if you tried to force it. It all boils down to them needing to make enough room to move it or lighten the load to it floats.
I think the easiest/safest way might be to dig it out as much as possible. Then create coffer dams and a dike around the edge to pump water in and increase the water level high enough to float it in place. Lifting those intermodal containers in the field is not going to be easy, safe, or fast.
@@sikofu2 we could also just tie two spacex rockets to it and lift it out
Perhaps this class of container ship over a certain gross tonnage will now require a full tug escort in the Suez Canal tethered at bow and stern to prevent such an occurrence from happening again.
Hypothetically after the vessel is unloaded if you use huge balloons at once to shift the boat while pulling it might break free.
"Armchair engineer" here...
Dig a big hole into the bank around the bow.
Use hoses to blow the sand around the bow into the hole and dredge sand out of hole.
The weight of the ship will cause most of the sand under the bow to move sideways so that it can be removed by pressure hose.
It will be far easier to bring in a bunch of large pumps in than dredge ships.
And they have already started to excavate the bank around the bow so just carry on with a modified version of that tactic.
Bravo... no need to be lot of smart to realize that solutions they showed to us are useless and diging from out of water isnt solution at all... so I have right to think that ship isnt there stoped by accident
I had exactly the same thought. My guess would be, that you would not even have to remove all the sand. You only have to remove it on the sides, and get it in a soft state underneath the ship.
What you're describing is basically a water jetting operation. Use water to blow the sand away from the hull.
It didn’t take long to find a solution in the YT comments. I am never disappointed with the great ideas that are presented to problems!
Hydro-vac just blasts water and sucks up all sorts of shit. Call badger daylighting they’ll be over ASAP to do it. The boys would love the trip!
The fact that you can’t dig sand vertically could help if they could pump jets of water around the bow to blast or wash the sand away since they can’t dig it.
The use of high pressure water jets is nothing new to the Egyptians. They used water jet hoses to clear gaps in the sand wall located on the eastern bank of the canal. This was done as part of the surprise attack against Israel, at the start of the Yom Kippur war.
That is exactly the thing I just said.
Gotta be a bigger reason it’s still being left there......
@@leidersammlung6955 I think your right , there is more to it than meets the eye. The canal is so vital to the economies of so many countries . I can't believe that the Egyptians have no contingency plan for such an eventually.
Blowing the sand into the canal just burries it deeper.
Liquify the sand from underneaththe bow. Push pipes underneath the bow and pump air and water through them in order to add space and water to the compacted sand.
I was trying to think of something funny to say about it, but that ship has sailed!😂
the fact that the ship is wider than the canal itself is the problem - they need to widen it or dig backup channel like in north side
They need some Mat's Offroad Recovery ropes. That'll get 'em out.

want it out ... empty it ... and pull it ... or cut it apart right there .... I can think of 20 or 30,000 somallians that would have that ship gone in a few days .... and I do mean GONE ... not a trace of it or anything that was on it ...
@@0623kaboom Yes but how much does a ship like that cost? Thats a pretty large ship.
@@0623kaboom Your 20 or 30,000 somallians idea is the best of all.
@@0623kaboom Super idea - there are so many poor people there, they will empty these containers in no time. Let them do it already!!
How much can a large tractor pull on land? Could they have used 2 tractors on each shore, on the opposite side where aground. One set pulls right while the other set pulls left.
The easiest way would have been to run large high flow pumps aimed parallel to the vessel at the bow angled about 5 degrees downward. This would have destabilized and removed large amounts of sediment in a very short amount of time. This coupled with tugs on it.

The Dutch saved the day again :-)
@@ikbenvrij I predicted it would be free in a few days with tugs and dredging... with or without the Dutch!
@@ikbenvrij there were 14 tugboats total, 2 of which with pulling capabilities "combined" equal , actually higher than that of, the Dutch tagboat. The dredging work lasted for 4-5 days , so it took too long because of the dredging not because they were waiting for the Dutch tagboat to come & pull. AND the operating co of the Dutch tagboat said the operation will take weeks..if the Dutch tagboat was as super as your claim, why would its operator say that?
Say Dutch tagboat helped in this but what you said proves that some of you Westerns are a bubble! Love to claim the hard work of others to yourselves, so greedy 😄

@@nascar427 if you can contact and make agreement with that warship.
@@nascar427 dude it’s not that easy, also you have to think about costs and diplomacy and then giving them something in return, there isn’t a lot of space in the canal, plus security plus the waterline of the ship. But hey sounds like a cool idea that could work, I’ll try to do more research in it,.
Today's lesson : don't watch initial d when you're driving a big ass ship
I am curious.. How much do those two giant anchors and chains weigh? I was thinking if maybe they dropped the anchors and ran out all the chain it would help lighten the front. Surely that would be that same as removing quite a few containers from the front.
Dig a hole beside it with a dredger, then use hydro blasting to push the sand out from underneath and into the newly dug hole. Thank you, this has been my Ted talk
getting the required machines and setting it up will take months
@@oksowhat Maybe not with the Antonov.
Actually sounds like a good idea .
I was thinking the same thing they could adapt a hydro hose system to a track hoe and a big pump and Wash all the sand loose.
We have to understand that any object that gets stuck in the soil and covered with water has a force from both ends. So the object wont push back unless it is a floating object. Now the ship has lost her floating ability as she has embedded her front and rear sides in the soil. Only way is to use the same water force to turn the ship after digging both ends to have more room and unload the heavy containers to reduce the weight. Water pressure can give either by explosion few meters away to create heavy waves like tsunami or increase water flow from one side.May be it will help her to turn back.
In this section the canal is about 700' wide. The ship is about 1300' long. However, The channel is only about 350' wide at the most. At least a quarter of the ship is stuck at each end. From the photos of the shore-side excavator the soil isn't just sand but a clay/sand mix. The bow is buried at least 20-25' into the bank. There's going to be suction as well as friction to deal with. Even when they get it clear, the canal's capacity is 76 ships per day and there are about 3-400 ship waiting to go through. Plus, getting the Evergiven free is bound to pull a lot of debris into the ship channel so there will be dredging needed before full operations resume. If they can get it free by March 30, the best case scenario, it will take at least another week to get caught up. Quite possibly it won't be until mid-April before it's all back to normal. That's when the fines and lawsuits start. That will probably last until 2030.
It should be imploded this month after the crew has gone & most of the cargo is unloaded. The worth of the vessel far, far less than the cost of permitting it to remain in place for weeks.
Yep. Personally I think it’ll take several more weeks.
They seriously need to widen the canal to make things like this less probable given how much bigger these ships have become.
I doubt that this is the first time such a long & heavily loaded ship has gone through the Suez Canal. Once it's been done successfully once, there's no reason that can't be repeated ad infinitum, no matter how windy it ever gets on the Canal.
They (Egypt) should have widened this section back when they were doing the renovations on this canal. Or ban large container ships. Which will it be... I predict they won't do anything because they love the money.
At 1:39 am ET the New York Times published the following update!!!
"The mammoth cargo ship blocking one of the world’s most vital maritime arteries was wrenched from the shoreline and set partially afloat again early on Monday morning, raising hopes that traffic could soon resume in the Suez Canal and limit the economic fallout of the disruption. Salvage teams, working on both land and water for five days and nights, were ultimately assisted by forces more powerful than any of the machines that rushed to the scene to assist in the rescue: the moon the tides. As water levels swelled overnight, the hours spent digging and excavating millions of tons of earth around the Ever Green paid dividends as the ship slowly regained buoyancy, according to officials. While shipping officials and Egyptian authorities cautioned that the complicated operation was still underway, they expressed increasing confidence the ship would soon be completely free. Images on social media showed tugboat crews celebrating the victory in the predawn hours."
Interesting video. Somehow they floated it. I don't think they unloaded containers either. If they did it with diggers and dredging vessels, then that's great work.
Instead of sucking or dredging how about a compressor or water pump pumping the said water at the sand which will cause vibration and the partacules to move around the ship and allowing it to float. Isn't thay simple
Can’t be pulled out because all the experts are busy commenting on TH-cam..

Back in the day, I operated a ship docking tug in San Francisco Bay....There was a bay pilot who used to work drunk a good bit...and once, when I was following him back up back from where I assisted his departure, he turned right after passing under the San Mateo Bridge. Being who he was, I didn't bother to interrupt his error, (it was a done deal by the time the ship started swinging anyway) and he piled into the sandbank that 'everybody knows about'. It was only a 500' ship, though loaded with scrap iron.....four Crowley 9's (9000 hp) tried to get him off, but it did indeed take weeks and a spring high tide to do so. That ship in the Canal is going nowhere real soon...-Veteran '66-68
Dig a new canal around it

@@brpitrepeters7983 Don't Jinx it
im beginning to understand just how stuck this thing really is
@Tur Horeb no. I could explain why but I know the guy talking in the video did just fine.
What's the pulling capacity of another super sized container vessel? Given that it has to be powerful enough to propel itself fully laden.
It's all fixed now so further speculative solutions aren't needed. But I want to share this.
What if they had used high capacity seawater pumps to "pressure wash" the sand / clay material away from the bow? Dredging is good but if you wash the sand into deeper water it becomes easier to dredge. I'd have thought 🤔 So I was surprised this wasn't done. Even the pumps on board the Ever Given could perhaps have been used to flood the bank next to the bow with (widely available) seawater.

Only partially
Did they pull it out ?
@@boredinlife1461 no its fully pulled out now news broke about an hour ago
@@nowthatsasupplydrop751 bruh
Most of the ship was still supported by water. Only a few percent (say 3% or less) was supported by clay (sand) on the borders of the channel. Following the approach presented in the above video, assuming a friction factor of 50%, a 3300-ton pulling force would be needed. The available pulling force from 2 gigantic towboats and a few smaller ones may have been 500 tons at maximum. The fact that the ship could successfully be freed by pulling, has most likely been caused by high tide that raised the ship by just enough to considerably reduced the friction. The work of the Egyptian workers digging around the front end of the ship may have helped. FvB, professor emeritus TU-Delft.
This is a tough one, engineers should be fully evaluating the potential options to free the vessel. Even reading comments to promote ideas. The only thing that comes to my mind...Which probably won’t work...Perhaps utilizing inflatable devices at an sudden speed to push the vessel back, after the dig to free a bit....and of course unloading as many containment’s to relieve the weight. Like fast inflatable hover craft sizes or boats to execute the push. Along with being pulled at the same time. In conjunction, this could potentially work.
