Suez canal blocked by a massive ship
The canal isn't very deep there. Scuttling it would make the situation much worse

My bad. I didn't mean scuttle and leave there. I meant take apart with welding torches. Not sure what the proper term is for that. However they got it moving so we are all good to go.

It has like 50cm clearance. If it “sank” you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking.

Do you have a source? The boat's draught is 15.7m according to [0] and the Suez canal supports ships with a draft up to 20m and is 23m to 24m deep.[1]

Am I misreading the AIS data there? I read that to mean that it's a 15.7m vessel in 16m water.

I believe that is stating that it draws a maximum of 16m, but is currently drawing 15.7m
