Today at 03:00 UTC, the bulk carrier GLORY (9288473) suffered engine failure while traversing the Suez Canal in the southbound direction. She is laden with 70KT of Ukrainian corn for China. Tuggies quickly showed up to the rescue and are now towing her south.

With All the Money Spend on NATOs War on Russia ! We could Have created a New/Faster Shipping Canal across Mexico using AtomBombs ☢
While sailing on the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) I went through the Suez canal twice – with no issues. That is a US Aircraft Carrier folks.
Is each ship escorted at least by one tug through the single pass area?
cool how a big problem is solved so fast and well
This isn't a homework assignment lol but silly question, why does this kind of always happen in the Suez and not the Panama (or does it?) and what are the relevant similarities/differences ie which canal is busier, wider, etc…
What does the owner of the ship pay to Egypt for getting stuck?
So did an Egyptian pilot screwup again?
Ah shit here we go again
“Suez Sal” is how you’re now known! “Better call Suez Sal!” I think the moniker works. Great job and commentary on the Suez Canal and is ‘stickiness!’
