    Fantastic and timely explination of this incident. Great job! And the background on the earlier incident with the collision in Hamburg between a ferry boat and the Ever Given was a scoop on legacy media outlets. Your personal knowledge of the places, type of vessels involved, and local conditions was extreamly enlightening. Thank you Same Ship Different Day!

    With a pilot on board the Suez Authority have full control of the ship. I really can't see them letting this ship into the canal surly protocols would have to be observed if the conditions are undesirable. Owners of ships entering the canal must indemnify the authority as a condition of navigation for any losses as a result

    Thank you for your very interesting and informative information on the canal situation. I became interested in the Suez Canal after having made one trip through the Panama Canal and one trip into the Panama Canal on cruise ships. I was talking to the captain of a wide cruise ship that could not have made it through the Panama Canal old locks so when he said that they had been in Australia and at the time of my trip we were out of Miami I asked him how they got where we were and he said Suez Canal and immediately I knew I wanted to go see the Suez canal in person. I'm hoping the trip that I've signed up to do that on in November of this year gets to go. So I really enjoyed your informative information peace and have shared your video with a bunch of my friends who I think would also be interested in it. So thank you for making such interesting videos.

    In retrospect this was a great explanation and I especially appreciate how the guy acknowledges and explains how he re-set his initial conclusions as to the cause studying the events and circumstances - that's the mark of wisdom. The only shortcoming, and this is in retrospect, is that he probably didn't give sufficient consideration to the power of the tides - especially at the time - to lend a helping hand in perhaps freeing the vessel sooner than his estimate may otherwise have been. The explanations of bank and "squat" effects were fascinating and very well done by this fellow. As an aviator, I can appreciate the influence of these phenomena, which appear to be akin to wing loading as well as ground effect. I'm actually glad I didn't watch this when it was published because then I would have been less inclined to take the under on a 3:1 over/under bet for a release as of mid-day Monday (Pacific Time) - as it turns out - I woke up Monday morning having won the bet.

    I travelled through the Suez Canal in 1967 on the Fairstar, leaving Southhampton on March 14 (5yo) enroute to Australia. We were the second last passenger vessel to go though the canal prior to it closing due to gulf crisis later that year. We could not dock at either Pt Said or Aden, which was planned, and even being so little I remember the gun boats circling our ship. I thought it was exciting, my parents were scared. . After that all migrant vessels had to travel round the long way. I’ve watched many videos on the canal because of the connection, and been interested in this event for the same reason. Thanks for the most informative and impartial roundup of this event.

    I've been an aero enthusiast most of my life. Bank effect (It seems) works a lot like lift on a wing. Also some racing cars use ground effect to suck the car down onto the road, affording moe grip and cornering speed. In NASCAR drivers race as close as possible to the wall & other cars to reduce drag. It's all very similar fluid dynamics. On the ship (in this example) the drag differential exerts a turning force on the ship, I'm only guessing but, I think the force is rotational because the bank is not perfectly straight, I think (although I might have my brain in backwards) if the bank were completely straight and the ship parallel with it, rather than rotate the ship, the bank would pull the ship in. Helicopters suffer a similar issue when operating near structures or cliffs. Mountain rescue pilots for example have to compensate for the wash coming back off the cliff whilst rescuing climbers.

    Great job at explaining for us no Mariners! I have been on Voyager of the seas coming out of station pier in Melbourne and they wouldn’t leave due to wind as the channel is rather skinny (as you would be well aware of!). I guess cargo lines need to be more on the risk taking side as the $$$ involved.

    Thanks for explaining this situation. It was really interesting. Random question, can ships pass each other in the canal? . If not, how is it worked so that ships can go in both directions?

    Great analysis with great insight. Thank you! Ultimately, it all comes to a different decision that could have been made by both Master and Suez canal authorities. A decision that would allow millions in savings...

    As a former able seaman that has spent many hours on the helm as well as anchor watch, I just have to shake my head on this. Its always sketchy going through a channel much less with a high wind and at relatively high speed. Now I have never been on a ship this big, 800ft was about my largest but I see a few things that could have been attempted that weren't. I imagine it happened pretty fast with the speed they were going but I would have at least had at least made an attempt. Anchors, bow thrusters, etc.
