There is a tug alongside already. Shouldn't it be able to pull that fail ship out?

I am not a fan of these ships getting larger and larger, they present serious issues in the response community. This one is a 20,000 TEU (10,000 40-foot containers)
They now have 24,000 TEU ships. Just one of these barely grounded in Germany a couple years ago and they had to call in something like 14 tugs to pull it free. |

Has anyone here posited that it's the opening move in China's invasion of Taiwan? If it's not really go time, is it a rehearsal or a probe?
How much of our Navy is floating in the Med? How much extra time will it take for our Atlantic fleet to go around Africa to get into the Indian Ocean? Is it happening yet? You know it doesn't matter anyway right? Biden is just going to shrug when Winnie the Pooh (that's Xi Jinping for you meme illiterates) pulls the trigger and send troops across the Taiwan Strait. |

At 400-meters-long and a little over 20,000 TEU capacity, the Panama-registered MV Ever Given is among the largest of so-called “mega ships”, aka ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs), currently in operation. |

The ship, called Ever Given, reportedly ran aground in the narrow shipping channel around 7.40am on Tuesday.
Several tugs have surrounded the vessel, operated by transport company Evergreen Marine, in a bid to move it. An official reportedly told local news outlet Cairo24 that the process of moving it could take up to two days.
