Apparently the ship is registered in Panama. You would've thought the Panamanians would know a thing or two about negotiating with canals.

Is Paige telling Francis to f-off for complaining about an add Paige is involved in?
Or is Paige telling 'The Age' to f-off for using her photo in a way that could be deemed to be objectifying women?
Why didn't Francis complain to Points Bet as well as the age, given it's a points bet ad?
And What does Golf have to do with AFL?

Road trip back to Adelaide this weekend all the planning so far has been as a solo trip.

About an hour ago, missus declares... she might come too.

Then realises she has to work Monday here in Melbourne.

Dodged a ******* bullet there!

The Ever Given, built in 2018 with a length of nearly 400 meters (a quarter mile) and a width of 59 meters (193 feet), is among the largest cargo ships in the world. It can carry some 20,000 containers at a time.

20,000! :shock:

The HMM Algeciras is a very similar size, 399.9m long, 61m wide and carries nearly 20% more with a capacity of 23,964 containers.
They must stack em high!!!

Something that size would be configured 60 containers end to end, 22 containers wide, Stacked 15 high.

Unless the rules have changed I was certain that the Suez must use local pilots only to guide the ships so you would think this bloke has piloted hundreds or thousands of ships through before

I read elsewhere (so no idea if it is accurate or not) that the panama canal pilots take complete control of ships for the journey, but the suez canal, the pilots are just there in an advisory capacity, with the ship captain remaining in control. So this may still be on the ship captains head.

It's already stuck, I don't see how making it wider will help.
