Ever Given blocking the Suez Canal on March 27, 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]
Less than an hour before the ship ran aground, the Evergreen nursing home in NY, USA had a serious fire. [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] The overhead picture of the ship in the first link looks more like it than in the picture at this link.
