Rumor is it will be cleared by tomorrow so it’s a two day loss if true. Surprised this may be the first.
Iran is likely taking note. Why not jus bomb the canal? That’s impact.
2-3 day loss spreads out to being 6-8 days by the time that you get to the ships at the end of the cue... Ships en route are being diverted to other canals knowing it will add a week or more on to their journeys.
And that 2-3 days severely impacts the manufacturers waiting for these components.

I wonder what the liability is for that ship owner and where jurisdiction is. Bet it’s a Byzantine nightmare.

Why wait for news updates?

My understanding is the weather caused this. A severe dust storm with high winds. No visibility and no control against the wind due to the profile of the ship.

This photo drives home the scale...
With the size of the ships coming through, I’m surprised they never devised a lock system yo raise and lower the water levels.
