  • 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.

    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..

    • @martylawson1638
      @martylawson1638 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      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.

    • @robertf3479

      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.

  • @HydraulicPressChannel
    @HydraulicPressChannel 3 ปีที่แล้ว +652

    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.

    • @sikofu2
      @sikofu2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.

      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."

It takes a while to get through it. As big as my carrier was (I was on the Enterprise), it's is nowhere near as big as this ship.

      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.

      The dual canal system is what needs to be done, honestly.
      1) It doubles normal operating capacity
      2) If a ship becomes stuck, the loss is 50% capacity rather than 100%. Fewer ships have to divert. Some still will need to do that and go around Africa, but then at least critical cargo could be taken into account and choices made.
      None of these are cheap projects. None are easy. None are done without a very long timeline for completion. All cause disruption in maritime traffic that accommodates literally trillions of dollars of trade annually. Step 1 has to be that second canal. The designers of the increasingly large super tankers should really consider their use case before the drop billions on a new ship that can't cross major trade channels or can't use major ports of call because they're simply too big.

Around 1/3 of the nose is above the water surface. so nose is at 8 or 9 meters deep instead of 15. The bad thing with Suez canal; Canals width at its surface is wider than width of the bottom. So if we say; the canal is 300 meters wide at its surface, the bottom is like 200 meter or less. I don´t know why. they know better.

    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.

    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.

    • @SuperRede4u
      @SuperRede4u 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Great thinking. I too was contemplating something similar. Everyday all over the world sewers are cleaned using high pressure water jets (around hydraulic pressure 2500~3500 psi). a) So I'm guessing that there probably isn't much rock under the vessel, but who knows for sure. b) We have an endless supply of water. c) Hi pressure water hoses are fairly flexible and can be connected in considerable length to directly target the problem areas. As well as removing the sand and other materials away from the hull the high pressure water would help to brake the stiction (think of pulling your rubber boots out of the mud) that is holding either end of the vessel from moving. I think that the Smit salvage team could cobble something together using smaller vessels to maneuver in close proximity to the Ever Given that are outfitted with the above setup. It will be interesting to see what transpires over the next few days /weeks. Definitely the options for what ever they come up with are limited to the space in the canal that they have to work in.
