As most people know, a large cargo ship has been stuck in the Suez Canal for the past 5 days. Officials have sent several tugboats to realign it but to little avail. Workers inside the vessel have been draining it of water, hoping that it will regain buoyancy; however, these attempts have also failed. Currently, Egyptian leadership hopes that an imminent high-tide will allow the ship to steer itself. Far from a joke, the Suez Canal’s blockade has resulted in billions of dollars worth of trade being lost. Oil prices are shooting up as a result of this quagmire, leaving many wondering when this boat will un-stick itself.
