cruise ships are tiny relative to the huge bodies of water they operate in and they still manage to run into each other. Some of the ship drivers are on drugs, asleep, or just plain stupid.
Thanks for sharing! The video really stunned me with a lively, spectacular and a bit misty view of this renowned canal, as well as a fresh perspective different from the descriptions in textbooks. It is such a pleasure to behold the incredible craftsmanship of humans!
Yes most ships have 2 anchors. Very few ships have a third anchor mounted at the stern, which they may use for some special operations or special docking situation.
Yes more or less. Watch also this video: Suez Canal timelapse with GPS info (Ever Given position at 01:10) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ghbcd5dvEHw.html
Since the canal does not cater to unregulated two-way traffic, all ships transit in convoys on regular times, scheduled on a 24-hour basis. Each day, a single northbound convoy starts at 04:00 (approximately) from Suez. At dual lane sections, the convoy uses the eastern route. Synchronised with this convoy's passage is the southbound convoy. It starts at 03:30 from Port Said and so passes the Northbound convoy in the two-lane section.
