March 23, 2021 - Evergreen Marine Corp
At 07:40 Eastern European Time (UTC+02:00) on 23 March 2021, a container ship, the Ever Given, owned by Evergreen Marine Corp ran aground in the Suez canal heading north just after leaving the Red Sea. [1]
Several of the eight tugboats working to free the ship were named BARAKA and one MOSAED. [2]
Robin Bullock prophecied about this event that same day, before CNN broke the news later that evening. [3]
While the ship was stuck, a truck in China pulling an evergreen shipping container also blocked traffic. Ironically, it was pointed off the road at almost the same angle as the ship and blocked about the same width of the road. [4]
In a completely unrelated incident, Evergreen Nursing Home in New York State had a serious fire which started about an hour before the ship ran aground. [5]
