Not with you. It could be excavating, the banking, or it’s being used to push it away. Either would help.
Now you can tell me what I’ve missed.

Looks like the ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal. By the looks of the pics, it's embedded itself into the bank, and the digger is freeing it.

All because of a sand storm...
I'd hate to be the person who gets this one at the ships insurers

Mmmm... to be fair it’s really not that obvious.
I was thinking more literally in that the tide has come in and drowned the excavator...

Reminds me of a legal question on the subject of Tort.
Captain D runs his heavily laden container ship into a sandbank in a busy shipping lane. Hundreds of ships cannot pass D's ship and their cargos are delayed. Ms P is waiting for her new hair straighteners from Taiwan but they are delayed in a container on a vessel that is stuck behind D's ship. P loses the opportunity to get a new job because her hair's a mess; this causes a loss to her of £170,000 per annum.
Advise P

Advise P to get off her ass, go to Boots or equivalent and purchase a replacement to the one ordered and once delivered return for refund of said delayed product. Therefore, hair mess avoided and can not be blamed when P does not get job not because of hair mess but because she was not the most qualified candidate.

Sadly, I think everyone will be a loser.
12% of World Trade passes through this channel.
Already over 150 large vessels backing up behind it. The only other route is south of South Africa.
It could take weeks to resolve causing massive disruption to supplies heading for Europe and the UK.
Shortages of some items and a hike in oil prices is a definite possibility if it can't be dislodged soon.
(Some ships already anticipating a long delay and taking the long route).

From that pic it looks like they're pulling out all the stops to free it anyway. It causing a huge international issue and all.

Apparently it lost power and electrical power resulting in no steering. Such a Hugh ship running aground in sand is going to be a buggar to pull free.

Advise P that if she’s lost a £170,000 per annum job because she couldn’t get her hair sorted, she probably shouldn’t have been in with a shout of the job anyway...

There’s plenty of room.
You’d get a double decker bus through there.

Marine liability is strange and works under the principle of General Average. So everyone who has a container onboard carries the risk if something goes wrong. Anyone without insurance should be worried.

Oh shite, hope it hasn’t delayed Asda’s latest toilet roll and pasta delivery.

P can sod off as it's a consequential loss and it is not reasonably foreseeable that she is such an airhead. What was wrong with her old straighteners anyway?
