Lol so a loving huge Taiwanese cargo freight ship ran aground hardcore in the Suez canal, and dozens of ships are blocked from passing:

Oh and it drew a sick dick pic via ocean GPS plotter while doing it!



Every single dot on this map are other cargo container ships waiting:



So far multiple tug boats have been unsuccessful in refloating the behemoth

Apparently this is the current state of maritime traffic in the area, which :stare:

I also read that apparently now ships are having to go around South Africa to get to Europe, which is historically a really awful place to have to sail and one of the main reasons the Suez was built in the first place

They should just load the ship up with explosives and blow it the gently caress out of the water.

Iirc It's the transition between the warm indian and the cold Atlantic oceans that can throw up wicked weather and waves and it just is generally rough to get through. For most of history it's been a dangerous voyage and there are a lot of ships that have made that area their permanent home

I could be wrong but that's what I seem to remember

EDIT: I might be thinking of Cape Horn, but regardless, it still sucks rear end

Having to go 'the long way' is also probably going to expose those ships to a poo poo load of piracy as well.
