My name is boat, I am a boat, I crashed myself just to show it, you can crash ships but you can't crash mine, I sail myself and carry my creator, I have smokestacks but I want a little engine, un deux trois CRUISE SHIP'S A JERK

... which you will decide tomorrow that it does not make any sense, does not even fit into the thesis and needs to be removed.

Okay, maybe a few too many memes! But so how did this accident actually happen?

The ship lost power so was at the mercy of the winds. With its tall cargo load the ship itself acted as a sail to swing the ship into the bank.

In the Panama canal, operators have to turn their ship over to a canal operator to guide it through. Do they do that at the Suez, too? I'm curious if this was the ship's operator or a canal operator that managed this unconventional maneuver.

probably. it's pretty common to have a harbor pilot come on board to get your ship through. Basically, the idea is that harbor pilots know the port (or canal in this case) better than any pilot you could hire would know it. Also, it's somebody else you can blame for a screw up like this.

Maybe I'm just an idiot... but, uhm, is there a reason they're not unloading it to reduce the draft while doing other stuffs? Like... is evergreen being that idiot you volunteered to help move, who insists the still-full dresser drawers aren't too heavy?

They are thinking about it, but that costs millions and is very difficult, so it’s a last resort kind of thing. They are first going to pump fuel and water (ballast) from the ship to see if that helps, and dredging to free the hull. Dutchies FTW!

It's the nautical equivalent of a truck driver ignoring the overpass height warning.
