SHIPJAM

[Inspector Norse]

can you explain how a two hundred thousand tonne container ship is supposed to do a dotted line

Carefully managed oil spills.

[steve98]

And we're expected to believe that these same Egyptians, in the old days, could haul massive 100 Ton blocks of granite using only human elbow grease, but yet they can't shift this boat with all the technology under the sun? Puh leez.

[gilbertharding]

Reading about the Great Bitter Lake 'Yellow Fleet' of 1967-1975 and thinking they've got it easy today. At least any ships stuck behind the Ever Giving can reverse out and go round the Horn.

[Chollis]

can't they just blow it out of the water

[idunnosomename]

Sounds like a job for Felix and his Amazing Underpants!

[shiftwork2]

The longer this goes on the funnier it gets.

shipwanker!!!!

[Captain Z]

I reckon the captain will go into de Nile after this.

[idunnosomename]

The longer this goes on the funnier it gets.

shipwanker!!!!

it'll be solved the minute I turn around and go round the cape of good hope, I betcha

[steve98]

Get these fellas - The ship-breakers of Bangladesh - in, they'll soon get the bastard shifted.

[seepage]

I really want some Shippam's fish paste now.

Actually, would greasing both ends with that work?

[idunnosomename]

this will like when they get a cat out of a manhole and it just goes down another one, except with the Panama Canal

[Aaron500]

They should send another ship through, see if it dislodges it.

ITS A SHIP BUSINESS

[zomgmouse]

Ship for Canal

[paruses]

Yet another white elephant in the making once people realise they can go on the South Atlantic and southern Indian oceans FOR FREE! Motorbikes might still use it I suppose.

They should just invite all the magnet fishers in the world over to stick their 100kg neodynium magnets onto the ship and pull it free. It would make a make change for them from pulling out wheelclamps, payphone cashboxes, scaffolding poles, old bikes and shopping trolleys.

It's free until you're anywhere near the Gulf of Aden, at which point the East African pirate ships will request that their special toll be paid.

[idunnosomename]

Has this been sorted yet? Have they thought of blowing it up with a big bomb?

[Paul Calf]

Nah. It could take weeks, and considering that it's holding up about 10 billion dollars in trade every day it's stuck, the bomb option is probably on the table.

[Blumf]

Has this been sorted yet? Have they thought of blowing it up with a big bomb?

It's the only language these things understand.

Well, either that, or hitting it on the bow with a rolled up newspaper whilst firmly saying "No".

[paruses]

I ordered a headphone cable few days ago. Bet it's on that ship. Maybe someone on there could have a look and dig it out.

Sure let's blow it up. Then you get the above, only instead of whale blubber it's raining containers. And paruses' earphones.

[GoblinAhFuckScary]

Love it. They're going around the actual Cape of Good Hope. Party like it be 1799

[GoblinAhFuckScary]

wait oh no oh fuck

[bgmnts]

Love it. They're going around the actual Cape of Good Hope. Party like it be 1799

god DAMN YOUR HIDE!

Wasn't aware from the stories I've read on it that to use the canal you have to pay for and hand over control to the canal's own pilots who are not renowned for their abilities: https://twitter.com/Nature_Grrrl/status/1375168720495075338.

You could be on to something, I just got an email telling me the chi-fi music player I ordered weeks ago isn't going to arrive at all now. Probably threw it overboard to get the ship less heavy, bastards.
