1/Yesterday it was the #Suez, today #Bosphrous.
Panama-flagged, 32k ton bulker #LadyZehma, outbound from #Ukraine port of Chornomosk went aground in the #Bosphrous, temporarily closing traffic.
The ship was making 10 knots when she veered to starboard & is reporting stopped.

2/Good news is she is not blocking the channel and the large Turkish-flagged salvage/rescue vessel #NeneHatun is on location.
Ships will standby off #Istanbul and the northern side of the #Bosphrous until the Turkish officials reopen the channel.

1/Recap of last night's #Suez incident. MT #AFFINITYV grounded southbound in the canal near the same spot as #EverGiven. She was lightly loaded and appeared to be set to the west by wind. Her bow grounded and her stern pitched to the opposite bank...

2/After #AFFINITYV went aground, with her bow into the west bank and her stern across the canal, the smaller tanker #Amelia, behind her in the southbound convoy appeared to strike her starboard quarter.
Amelia was backed off and #Suez tugs responded to free #AFFINITYV.
Amelia was backed off and #Suez tugs responded to free #AFFINITYV.
3/With the benefit of a 4ft high tide, the tugs were able to move the stern of #AFFINITYV counter clockwise into the canal and then pull her back into the channel and move her about a mile down canal. Total time was about 4 to 5 hours.
The 252M, 114k ton Singapore-flagged crude oil tanker #AffinityV went aground south bound in the #Suez, just north of where #EverGiven went aground in March 2021.
Egyptian tugs are on scene.
Vessels in the southbound convoy from the lake appear to be in disarray having to stop.

Looking at her track on @MarineTraffic, she appeared to ground, get loose and is now grounded again.
Her last port was Sines, Portugal enroute to Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. She is probably light and heading to load.

Tanker #AFFINITYV is currently being assisted by the large tug Ezzat Adel and three smaller tugs.
They appeared to have removed her from the initial grounding but then grounded again a mile further south based on her AIS data.

BREAKING: tanker #AFFINITYV has run aground & gotten stuck in the #SuezCanal.

2/ So, the crude oil tanker #AFFINITYV is only partially laden.
This fits. She's heading to Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. Presumably to get more from an oil terminal there.
That means her draught (part below waterline) isn't at max. (11.2m vs 15.5).
Read, easier to pull off.

3/ VIDEO UPDATE: #AFFINITYV is freed!
She got grounded, freed, maybe-grounded again, and now very gingerly under tow southbound in the #SuezCanal.
Cause unclear. But I've narrated an animation of the initial incident.

1/Some photos from today of #EverForward. A view of her shows her bow is almost 4 meters (13 feet) out of the water. She is 17 to 24 feet of water and draws 42 feet.
This is is going to be a prolonged salvage to get her off.

2/She missed her southbound turn (unknown why) and went out of Craighill Channel - dredged from 38 to 50 feet to accommodate neo-Panamax ships like #EverForward.
She departed the channel between red buoys 16 & 14 and plowed into the spoil area from the dredging; about 24 ft.

3/Unlike her larger cousin #EverGiven (400m in length and 20,000 TEUs), which grounded at her bow and stern in the Suez last year, #EverForward (334m & 12,000 TEUs) is aground from bow to stern as demonstrated by her exposed bottom fore and aft.

Une fois de plus, l'#Allemagne entraine par l'inconscience de sa stratégie énergétique et son ubris de puissance industrielle toute la sécurité européenne dans un immobilisme délétère vis-à-vis de la #Russie... détruire le lien germano-russe devrait être la priorité de l'Europe.
Si Poutine s'autorise à envahir l'#Ukraine c'est qu'il a la certitude que l'Allemagne refusera de se couper durablement de l'approvisionnement en gaz russe au nom de la sécurité de l'#Europe. Donc aujourd'hui, il n'y a pas d'obstacle politique en Europe aux visées russes...
... de fait, l'Europe étant piégée par l'Allemagne, il n'y a plus que l'obstacle américain à l'offensive géopolitique russe, quand celui-ci daignera intervenir... depuis la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, on sait comment on arrête les opérations militaires des 5 grands...#Suez
So, what does it look like when you run your bow into Asia at 13 knots and close the Suez Canal for six days in March?

Good that #SaudiArabia & #UAE have pledged #NetZero but #GCC total domestic emissions are only 2.4% of world’s. The #EU needs to focus on the emissions they export, mostly to #China, I argue how: bit.ly/2XOK8bG 2/

Et si la solution au blocage du canal de #suez était le train ?

Le canal de Suez c'est un bras d'eau creusé entre deux mers. Il permet de prendre un raccourcis conséquent à 12% du trafic mondial. Car rappelez vous : l'Europe produit en Asie et importe chez elle.
Patatra, un navire se met en travers dans la canal et voilà la route maritime bloquée. De là, les "yaka foke" sortent leur solution forcément évidente car "ces Egyptiens, ils ne sont pas organisés donc il faut leur expliquer."
On the @cosmo_globalist Cosmopolicast we recorded yesterday, we did a go-round where everyone tried to figure out how to solve the #Suez problem. Hosted by @MoniqueCamarra, with @VivekYKelkar, @NighswanderJon, @akshaya_jose, @IlvesToomas, @RachelMotte, and @is_OwenLewis.
I, of course, said, "Why can't we just blow it up?"
But it turned out really interesting, when @IlvesToomas got us to look at a map and showed us that for pretty much every country but India--for which this is a disaster--it's a non-problem.

Yes, it's a traffic jam and a hassle for vessels that are stuck; but look at the map. Bienvenue, climate change! It's April. We don't really need the Suez Canal until next winter. So we can all stop worrying about it.

Everyone is talking about the big ship getting stuck in the #Suez Canal. Here's a critical logistics reading list on the politics of how we got here -why ships are so huge, why there is a manmade canal cutting through a continent, why global supply chains seem so brittle, & more.
On the rise of the logistics revolution that shaped the martial politics of global trade from the 1960s to present, read @debcowen's seminal The Deadly Life of Logistics upress.umn.edu/book-division/…
This talk I gave at @SonicActs, also the partial subject of of my book manuscript, thinks through the irrational rationalities of obsessions with monstrous ships in the logistics industry, and the corresponding effects on global infrastructure re-imagine-europe.eu/resources_item…

Impact will hit European manufacturing and car part suppliers.

The funny thing about this is that eventually that ship is going get freed, and people will recognize that that little backhoe played a key role in helping to clear the #Suez Canal.

There's lots to be critical of China for, but the spectre of "they pollute more, so we shouldn't bother trying" is weak.
