The skyscraper-sized container ship, Ever Given, is free and on the move after being stuck in the Suez Canal for days.
RELATED:
“We pulled it off!” Peter Berdowski, CEO of Boskalis, the salvage firm hired to extract the Ever Given, said in a statement. “I am excited to announce that our team of experts, working in close collaboration with the Suez Canal Authority, successfully refloated the Ever Given … thereby making free passage through the Suez Canal possible again.”

Never thought it could be done! There’s isn’t anything these people can’t do! I’m just stunned ! Thanks for the video, great show!
Anything can be done with money…
More like, if you have enough and are losing enough you can fix it…
@romangeneral23 yes?
@M Y Maybe?
@hacatan24 except health and death
I hope all the frantic hoarders out to buy T.P. Coffee and gas can breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks to the media hype it was happening. Great News!
It ain’t over yet; all the time that ship was blocking the canal stopped a LOT of other ships from passing through.
Awe man!!! Can we still meme about it though??
Wait it was a meme???? Lmao
@Ksm Sm Bro you’ve been missing out on some good memes
@Ignacio Caballero rule 34 of a ship wasn’t the best thing my eyes have seen. I wouldn’t call it a good meme
“Help me, step-ship. I’m stuck…”
@StealthPenguin1 Atleast she was wearing a life jacket, she ain’t cape sizing!
God damn it that boat was supposed to crash global economy
finally the paperclips I ordered on aliexpress will arrive
@Automatic 93 he def does lol Romania.
😂 yeah and my iPhone cover
@Automatic 93 this dude probably going through all the stages of grief cause his stacks of papers are now on the other end of the house and you’re arguing about his nationality
smh -_-
@spicy grief 😂😂😂
Thanks to Egypt
Imagine being crew on that ship…
The guy behind him has the potential to possibly do the funniest thing anybody has ever done…
@Marcus mancias Guy behind him can get stuck and cause this whole mishap again
@Marcus mancias the same bullshit again
@Marcus mancias wow dude..smh
Can you be any more unoriginal?
@Marcus mancias not the brightest crayon in the box are you?
Good they dislodged it, but the gaffe was already made.
One of my sons just remarked to me, earlier today : “Imagine effing up so bad that your mistake is visible from space!!” 🤦🏻♂️
Hurricane force winds can blow any ship off course, clearly.
@Barton Dean In all the videos and images they have published since , including the ones from the International Space Station, there is nothing but clear skies.
Have you visited Suez? They only experience gale force winds during thunderstorms or sandstorms, not with clear skies.
Have you ever seen a large sea going vessel while sailing? Been aboard one?
We live in Panama, where another large man made canal exists, and I have had both experiences of watching and being on the bridge of a large vessel during its crossing (traversing the canal ) during REAL stormy weather.
That tall tale of Mazinger sized “strong winds” may assuage the general public , but it will not fool any experienced sea farer.
It doesn’t hold much water.
A cargo ship? More like an ISLAND filled with useless crap that’s going to end up in the ocean. Awesome. Anyway back to Biden stumbling on some freaking stairs…
Maybe you should support the Dem’s Green New Deal if you are so concerned about the oceans.
To all the family and friends and people around the world who encouraged me to go there and single-handedly free this vessel, I thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you.
🎊🎊🎊👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I never saw you there..were you at the bow or stern?
ROY! ROY! ROY!
Not all heroes wear capes, thank you Roy
Thanks Roy.
*ATTENTION* The COMPANY is called *EVERGREEN* The SHIP is called *EVERGIVEN*
Evergreen or Ever Given: Who pays the taxes?
They can’t call it that because it has ties to Hillary Clinton.
@Arnold Chirwa evergreen pays the taxes the fleet is called ever given owned by evergreen
Thanks for the clarity.
All of their ship names start with “ever”.
they better pull into the first possible spot and check out the structural integrity of that ship. It would be a shame if it breaks up en route to its destination due to being over stressed by its ordeal…
They’ll use force fields to reinforce structural integrity…
It’s easy to rip is what I’ve heard 🤔
I feel bad for all of the ships that decided to go the long way!
Oh boy, all of that China crap heading to Europistan.
The PS5s and 3080 RTXs on that ship are finally making their way to scalpers! Wooooo!
Amen to that. Bots are still gonna get em when they’re posted online tho
Did they get the containers of human trafficking victims off first?
100 feet later. “Welp, it’s stuck again!” That would be terrible, but I would still laugh.
Its about time. Now they might lower the prices back down so I can buy the items I wanted a few days ago but were to exspensive📈😀🚢
I bet that captain was fired, fined or what ever for that stunt.
The world: it will take weeks
Egyptians: hold my beer..
Egyptians: hold my pyramids.
