Bank effect! Thanks Ted. Very much seems to be a debated phenomenon but in fact needs to be accepted. We had a recent event in my neck of the woods on the Welland Canal with the Florance Spirit and in spite of the bank effect in play many, many uneducated and ignorant accusations were made toward the crew of both vessels involved. Thanks Ted for your ongoing contribution.

Hi Paul, in todays shipping world and world in general the society wants to be presented with a guilty-one ASAP. Who easier then the Kapt and in that matter more vulnerable to it. The Company has for sure money and lawyers, same for the Canal and the Insurance. The only weak link in that matter is the Kapt. So lets hang him and society is quite. Remember the Kapt of Exxon Valdez ?  Before the grounding the best ever for Exxon,,three days after the groudning filed a law suit against him. On the end Kapt Hazelwood, if I heard it right, got a few millions awarded as he prevailed. But on the end it also cost him his Job for good.
NOW!!!,,,if we could get rid of the sailors,,how safe shipping would be !!!!!!!!

While all this was going on the NTSB published their report into the 2019 collision in the Houston Ship Channel between gas carrier GENESIS RIVER and a tank barge pushed by the VOYAGER, where these same factors arose -  squat, bank rejection/attraction, forward track stability (as well as ship interaction, and trim) and the effect that speed and the size of rudder.

The report is at https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/MAR2101.pdf.  See the section on Hydrodynamic Effects starting on p38 of the pdf report.

News overnight reporting a settlement has been reached, and once signed and dotted Ever Given will be back underway. No amount mentioned, but seems to have been the old Mexican stand-off style of negotiations, the canal authority started off with the demand for US$900 mn, Shoei the vessel owner/insurers retorted with US$150 mn then the Egyptians watered down the amount US$550 mn. So presume the numbers somewhere in the lower hundreds of millions, but hundreds of customers will now be breathing a huge sigh of relief, as well as Evergreen to have their ship back in service in a market currently experiencing phenomenal freight rates. Possibly may recover the cost of the fine in a single voyage from Asia, and maybe the big $$$$'s now being earned incouraged Evergreen to contribute support a high settlement to get the ship back scoring its share of surging freight rates. Other reports have some rates 485% up on last year, Maersk shares at an all time high, and even Zim who have long battled financially and found it diffcult to attract investors, has seen its shares triple since January.

The UK P & I Club posted this statement today:
https://www.ukpandi.com/news-and-resources/press-release-articles/2021/ever-given---media-statement/

AIS shows the Ever Given last in a northbound convoy, with tug(s) nearby.

If I am not mistaken, the recent Bloomberg Businessweek article cites evidence submitted in court, providing us with the only whiff of factual detail.

My hat is off to the entire ship's crew.

and there is trouble again, it appears that customers who want to receive their containers, will have to pay for the delay.... depending on the value of the cargo perhaps a few will then refuse delivery. In total 9000 units will have to offloaded, next port Felixstowe, departure on monday. Current location is off limits (visually) for ship spotters.

Hi Pieter, I can't remember if they declared GA or not ? I would imagine they did ? Problem with these delays especially if fashion wear is involved, as an example, by the time their shipments arrive it's almost a change of season ! However, this risk is the reason shippers (be they importers or exporters) should cover themselves adequately.
