Its no worse that many a clueless BMW driver has done to a country lane in the snow.

To be fair there is no clue whatsoever in the picture as to the name of the ship !

The ship is the Ever Given, as The Guardian says.

It is operated by the Evergreen Marine Corp of Taiwan as one of their fleet of close to 200 container ships.

I have got a plan for them.....

The other ships can't get past because of the stuck one. So run a tow rope from the stuck one to a couple of the ones waiting in the queue, stick them into reverse gear and H-E-A-V-E!!!!!

What can possibly go wrong?

that's quite a wedgie in a very important short cut to think I was upset when the granddaughter flushed all-sorts down our toilet one early morning before we got up to block it...

Good news, a local dentist managed to free it...he got to the root of the problem pretty quickly.

So did the dentist have canal knowledge then? Root canal, that is (Getting worse and worse).

The company my wife works for are mainly importers. They are due to send payments to shipping companies, but might have to halt them if goods stuck.
