Explained, Inappropriate track From the Ever Given before blocking The Suez Canal

In this analytic video, I will use my background as a navigation coast guard officer to fully explain how the Ever Given created such a weird and vulgar track, right before they made their entrance in the Suez Canal and latter on caused the blockade. I will also debunk most of the wild conspiracy theory.
In March 2021, the Suez Canal was blocked for six days after the grounding of Ever Given, a 20,000 TEU container ship. The 400-metre-long (1,300 ft) vessel ended up wedged across the waterway with its bow and stern stuck in the canal banks, blocking all traffic until it could be freed. Egyptian authorities said that "technical or human errors" may have also been involved. The obstruction occurred south of the section of the canal that had two channels, so there was no way for other ships to bypass Ever Given.
As one of the world's busiest trade routes, the canal obstruction had a significant negative impact on trade between Europe and Asia and the Middle East. On 28 March, at least 369 ships were queuing to pass through the canal. This prevented an estimated US$9.6 billion worth of trade. On 29 March, Ever Given was partially re-floated and moved by about 80 percent in the correct direction, although the bow remained stuck until the ship was finally freed by Egyptian, Dutch, and Italian tugs, started moving, under tow, towards the Great Bitter Lake, for technical inspection. The canal was checked for damage, and after being found to be sound, the SCA allowed shipping to resume on 29 March.

A little bit about myself: I did my career onboard the Canadian Coast Guard fleet as a navigation officer, for more than four years. I also did my training at the Coast Guard College. I took part on multiple operations around the country, including the Arctic. I had the chance to work with other departments, like the navy and the police forces. Nowadays, I left my years of adventure behind to enjoy a stable life on shore. I still work for the Coast Guard, but from the office. A drastic change in my everyday life, but it gave me the opportunity to do youtube videos like this one.
Got any movie or video game related to the navigation world you would like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

@thomas1910 3 жыл бұрын

I came here to request the same thing! I work as a Deck Officer myself and can say the terminology and technical details are very accurate and well-articulated in Fred's video. In terms of the history, I can't say much, because I'm not familiar with the story (I had not heard of the incident prior). Interesting, though, is the application of the Collision Regulations (COLREGS) in the Battle of the Isle of May. Despite the fact that ships of war are exempt from following the COLREGS (maneuvering, lights and signals), following the principles therein could have saved many lives. Fred's only mistake is when he said a rule of collision avoidance was that the smaller ship gives way to the larger - to my knowledge, this rule has never existed on paper. It could be effective, maybe, but legally it's a misconception. The only thing that matters for two power-driven vessels meeting with risk of collision in open sea with good visibility is the aspect (what side of the other ship you see) allowing you to determine if a head-on, overtaking, or crossing situation exists. In the Isle of May case, in restricted visibility, it's impossible to tell the aspect and size (without modern equipment like ARPA and AIS) of the other vessel, so effectively ALL vessels have the onus of giving way to the other. Since RADAR wasn't invented yet in WWI, slowing down and earlier use of navigation lights could have prevented many of the collisions. Of course, I understand both were avoided to avoid detection from German U-Boats. Nonetheless, the video would be a great piece with lots of source material! Great recommendation!

@Pr0manStream 2 жыл бұрын

Whenever people spout "it's been a group hacking it" or something similar, it's because they don't know any better reason as to why it could have happened. Who in their right mind would have ships be connected wirelessly to the web? You'd basically be at the risk of losing ships all the time if that were the case. Not to mention that the crew who is on watch would've definitely noticed the course corrections at that point. At most I'd assume they have an intranet, meaning a closed network system that can only be accessed by a machine that has a physical connection to it.

@MrMorvana 2 жыл бұрын

Well, maybe one day it will be the case with fully automated ships, sure, there will be a risk of "hacking", but you could reduce costs and prevent human mistakes (which caused must of the big tragedy). But I am certain there will always be a human on board to be able to take command if needed when taking a sensitive passage as the Suez.

@katydid5088 2 жыл бұрын

@@MrMorvana Maybe. My biggest concern would be some sort of mechanical failure. You'd basically need an entire engineering staff,mechanics,maintenance, and for absolute emergencies, some way to perform a manual override, which essentially gets rid of the idea that "self driving" vessels are cheaper or possibly safer. Even if the vessel is not fully staffed, for location purposes, and again some type of rescue or salvage mission, it will take mountains of money and time to plan those types of maneuvers. Operating costs are almost always weighted heavily toward maintenance and training when it comes to any rescue service. To say nothing of the fact that safety procedures are written in blood. While most people think an automated world will be devoid of work, the reality is that electrical repair and maintenance will become the new dime a dozen job. Not to mention the procedures which are too sensitive security wise to have control systems via a network. From a security standpoint systems are only as safe as the people who have access to it. Hence, why counter intelligence, cons, and piracy continue to be a problem in the modern world.
