(Edit, Evergreen is the company involved, the ships name is apparently 'Ever Given'.)

Never posted from mobile before so had a little learning experience.

The story is about a ship called the EVER GIVEN. Another shipping company is called EVERGREEN.

Let me guess what happened..

I dont remember this on bf1, this an Easter egg?

 

[Porcile]

Just push it?

 

[DKehoe]

 

[Zenaku]

They'll have to rename it to 'No Fucks'

 

[CrankyJay™]

This has meme potential by replacing the lettering on the side

 

[Alright]

Why was he sailing sideways?

 

[Birdo]

There's your PS5 shipments, guys.

I wonder what is on that ship.

He was using the wrong steering wheel whilst playing ridge racer

"ere dingy, watch me drift this corner sick as fuck like, init!"

 

[SinDelta]

Wow it would be hilarious except just one ships accident has blocked one of the worlds most important shipping routes and the ripples growing every moment it remains stuck there are not going to be pleasant for the world's logistics and economy.

...I also agree, expect lots of memes about this.

Did the Concordia crew find a new boat ?

 

[Woo-Fu]

There was a sandstorm, high winds, and the ship suffered a blackout. I'd consider that a pretty good set of mitigating circumstances for the pilot.

I don't think it is coming loose without some excavation around the bow. If you look at the waterline it's pretty obvious that a lot of the ship's weight is resting on the bow, I'd be very careful simply trying to push it loose from the stern. You break that ship in half in the middle of the canal and you'll have a real mess on your hands.

"ere dingy, watch me drift this corner sick as fuck like, init!"

"Multi track canal drifting!"

 

[dcll]

Drifting culture is out of control

Edit damn late

Was actually curious about how they'd manage to move it.

 

[PSYGN]

I hate it when that happens.

 

[Amory]

Whoops

The captain is going to be in some real trouble.

[EverydayBeast]

Why can’t boats move in that direction at some point they’re gonna have to somehow pick it up.

 

[Jezbollah]

They've already partially refloated it.

 

[Spaceman292]

End the thread here this is too funny

 

[DKehoe]

Drawing a dick and balls with your ship and then using it to block the Suez canal is a fucking power move.

 

[ipukespiders]

Smooth move, ex-lax.

PS5s and the entire PC GPU market are on that ship

As someone who works in logistics this has the potential to go down in history as one of the biggest logistics disasters in history lol

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Let me guess what happened..

 

[Kadve]

Still there today.

The current estimate is that they might have to wait for monday (when the tide is at its highest) or lose weight by unloading (which could take a few days, not exactly in a good spot).

 

[T8SC]

Apparently the captain is friends with a guy called Han.

 

[eddie4]

Suez Canal blockage is delaying an estimated $400 million an hour in goods (cnbc.com)

the canal’s westbound traffic at roughly $5.1 billion a day, and eastbound traffic at around $4.5 billion a day.

 

[showernota]

So this is how the economic upheaval starts.

Compared to what? I mean, the Suez canal has been through worse times, including an eight year traffic jam.

Do you think someone will "Suez" ass?

No? Fucking philistines.

 

[Woo-Fu]

There were two Suez Canal Authority pilots on board.
