Noble is buying up Pacific Drilling

Well now that the company that hired her is losing money on the order of what 9 figures?, You'd think they're going to be a more 'competency first' with her replacement.

And if you really think that will be the result enjoy fantasy land.

I'll reserve further comments at third coast said this isn't the person that decided to turn the Evergreen into a land bridge. In general, companies PR strategies get thrown out the window when they start losing on tens of millions of dollars. People get quietly replaced at a later date.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, I am not sure who the woman posted is. The one I referenced on LinkedIn is not the woman posted. The one in the pic could very well be an officer on the ship in question.

3rd Coast-

The stuck vessel in the Suez Canal is interesting and oil related. Since this is your industry, post meaningful updates when you can! Read this am that may be weeks! Are they going to have to try and unload some weight?

Evidently demand drop is outpacing the concern of Suez. Think this is almost old news now - yesterday oil jumped up a lot but down huge today.

Suez is more important for refined products given ability to pipe crude parallel.

It would seem logical to try and shed weight, but a couple years back I quoted a new crane to the Panama Canal with a lot higher reach than what they had. It was for a contingency plan for something just like this. A lot of these newer vessels stack the containers so high that you can't easily reach the top.

Very interesting. Wonder if they can dig it out? Doesn't seem that difficult to dig - I did see a pic of a bulldozer on the bank next to the ship.

They aren't going to be able to just dig it out. I believe the excavation is only to help remove the bow of the ship that has penetrated the wall of the canal.

WSJ article mentioned trying to refloat the ship by unloading fuel and ballast water. It also mentioned unloading containers by helicopter. Also said they are expecting a higher than normal tide this weekend which should help.

I still haven't heard a good explanation as to what happened. I think the ship's owner or lessee stated wind blew the ship off course, but it's hard to believe that they would risk blocking the canal if something as simple as wind could cause such a financially catastrophic result and I bet the crew knew exactly what caused them getting stuck as soon as it happened.

Just turn the water hoses on and float it out.

It won't be wind alone. Wind combined with loss of steering or power is likely scenario.

I've been on ships nearly that big. It doesn't take much to get sideways.

If they say ship instead of tanker, it doesn't lob veiled implications at the petroleum industry. What's the filing in reporting news without doing that.

That dude is a parody account, I wouldn't read much into it.

Ita a container ship. Only ships called 'carriers' are RO ROs, often called car carriers. Or aircraft carriers i reckon. Good joke though.

Technically speaking, its not much of a ship right now either. More of a warehouse in the desert!

The Ever Given Oasis

Any ideas to the draft on a ship like this?

52 ft.
