    The ship has been seized because they were trafficking children for the Clinton Cartel.

    My job is heavily reliant on international shipping.

    But international shipping is completely fucked anyway, so I hope this is real just for the lulz.

    :( On the topic of cargo ship catastrophes

    Cargo Ship Carrying 25 Tons of Acid Sinks in Sri Lankan Waters; Marks One of Worst Environmental Disasters in Decades

    The MV X-Press Pearl caught fire on May 20, as flame erupted on deck from what authorities believed to be a nitric acid leak, although Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that Sri Lankan authorities are launching a criminal investigation. The fire burned for 13 days before finally being extinguished on Tuesday, AFP reported.

    The Sri Lankan government and navy said this is the country's worst marine disaster, as the sinking ship was carrying 1,486 containers filled with chemicals, including 25 metric tons of nitric acid. [...]

    Sri Lanka's Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA) said in a statement that microplastic pollution could cause years of ecological damage to the Indian Ocean island. Waves of plastic waste are washing up on shore, and navy sailors were deployed to clean the beaches of the plastic pellets.

    "This is like the coronavirus, no end in sight," Sailor Manjula Dulanjala told AFP. "We removed all the plastic yesterday, only to see more of it dumped by the waves overnight."

    Another Giant Cargo Ship Got Stuck In The Suez Canal
    By Bill Galluccio

    September 9, 2021

    Traffic through the Suez Canal was briefly halted after a massive cargo ship got stuck on Thursday (September 9). The Panamanian-flagged MV Coral Crystal ran aground just past the 33-mile mark, forcing officials to close the canal.

    Crews managed to refloat the ship, which was carrying 43,000 tons of cargo, and the canal was reopened after about 15 minutes. The Coral Crystal, which is 738 feet long and 104 feet wide then resumed its journey to Port Sudan.

    Officials said that four ships had to be diverted to a different lane as a result of the brief blockage. They did not say what caused the massive cargo ship to get stuck.

    The brief closure of the canal comes just six months after the Ever Given ran aground during a sand storm. That blockage completely shut down the channel, and it took crews six days to free the 1,300-foot-long vessel. The shutdown cost the Suez Canal millions of dollars in lost revenue and upended global trade as ships were forced to take longer alternative routes around the canal.

    Headline neglects the most impressive part of this story- despite Russian invasion, Ukrainians still find time to grow corn while kicking Putin’a ass.

    Ukraine should be admitted to the Big Ten imo. Solid program. Good at growing corn. And would allow B1G to capture the sought-after Kyiv market.
