If that cargo ship burns and blocks the Suez canal,
be prepared for $9/gallon gas.

"Accept now that all you have seen from the day of your birth on the surface of the earth, to the present, are wonderful only because the finite mind of man is confused with fragments of evidence, that, from whatever direction we meet them, spring from an unreachable infinity."

"There was a man who could create what could not be imagined. A temple so great you questioned if it was built with human hands. A man who built an idea into the greatest force the world has ever known. A world built from a single word. I care not for the folly of man but for the end of human contention."

hmmm, very odd ...


the Maersk Kampala's position does not seem to
be correctly depicted on the ship-location websites:


here, off the northern coast of India: [link to www.sailwx.info]

here, docked in Dubia, UAE: [link to www.vesselfinder.com]


but none correctly showing the ship in the southern Suez Canal

Re: Breaking - huge Maersk Line cargo container ship on fire entering Suez Canal
Yeah, shouldn't be a MAJOR issue although.... extinguishing the fire confined to 2 containers only should be feesable so do not expect any MAJOR doom coming out of this.....

The vessel is still fully manouevreable so until anything odd happens, this would appear just to be a normal marine incident
