1/Some photos from today of #EverForward. A view of her shows her bow is almost 4 meters (13 feet) out of the water. She is 17 to 24 feet of water and draws 42 feet.

This is is going to be a prolonged salvage to get her off. ImageImageImageImage
2/She missed her southbound turn (unknown why) and went out of Craighill Channel - dredged from 38 to 50 feet to accommodate neo-Panamax ships like #EverForward.

She departed the channel between red buoys 16 & 14 and plowed into the spoil area from the dredging; about 24 ft. ImageImageImage
3/Unlike her larger cousin #EverGiven (400m in length and 20,000 TEUs), which grounded at her bow and stern in the Suez last year, #EverForward (334m & 12,000 TEUs) is aground from bow to stern as demonstrated by her exposed bottom fore and aft. ImageImageImageImage

1/Shipping at Russian Ports is Falling, While Some Ships Remain Inbound

There is a disturbing piece in this story by @Mar_Ex regarding the sailing of Bulkers heading to the #BlackSea port of #Novorssiysk. The issue regards #Ukranian crewmembers.

scq.io/zgNp8gO
2/GAG Hot Port News: “All Ukrainian crew should be delivered ashore by service boat to the Immigration office, and will be transported back to their vessel after their meeting with Immigration.”

I can envision some difficulties on these ships if the crews learn of this.
3/While Bulkers have not yet been sanctioned coming out of Russia - the food is needed in Africa, Middle East and Asia - I severly doubt that Ukranians will surrender themselves to Russian authorities.

I expect to see vessel diversions on this issue.

1/President Biden to Target Container Shipping Alliances in 'State of the Union' Address

This attack on the Container Companies tonight, @Maersk @MSCCargo @cmacgm @COSCOSHIPPING @HapagLloydAG @OceanNetworkExp #Evergreen #HMM #YangMing, could be trouble.

gcaptain.com/president-bide…
2/The statement by @TheJusticeDept and @FMC_gov to reaffirm and strengthen their partnership is targeted directly at the ocean carriers. I have been critical of them in the past. There is concern about future actions to keep rates high, as they are today.

justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
3/The FMC has led a Fact Finding (#29) on this since March 2020 led by Commissioner Dye. It has uncovered several major issues including excessive detention & demurrage and difficulties carriers had with shippers.

1/As the #Ukraine #Russia War continues, the number of neutral and commercial ships caught up in the conflict is little know.

The port of #Chornomorsk, just south of Odessa has over a dozen ships including several large bulkers #DaLiang of China, #Polarnet of Turkey & others.
2/Odessa itself has several vessels including the former MSC Algercias, now the @COSCOSHIPPING Joseph Schulte. A 9,400 TEU containership operating on the Black Sea-Asia route.
3/Similary, at the port of Mykolaiv, just north of Odessa, are a dozen more vessels including the Danish flagged tanker #HaraldMaersk.
