Just get the sum bitch going know one cares if you pollute or not it is going to happen no matter what what the hell is wrong with people now a days they would rather spend 1000's of dollars on a 10 dollar problem because it might make the water dirty for a few hours unreal.

Questions for you Navy, Merchant Marine, large displacement vessel experienced folks. I know there is a loading program, sequence, for such container ships that must take into account how a container ship is loaded to be certified for sailing prior to setting sail. Distribution of weight, ballast, fuel load, etc., to ensure proper ship balance, height/center of gravity.

So, if dredging fails to remove over 25 feet of mud and slit to free it enough to move with every tug available called into service, and this ship has to be unloaded to facilitate its re-floating, what would be the necessary process to do so?

I know just removing the fuel, which is ballast of itself, without removing any top containers, could raise the center of gravity and cause stability problems. So, how do you think the recovery will/should proceed?

I have not seen anything that clearly states what her loaded draft was when she ran - is the 42.6' number her load line limit?..or her actual loaded draft when she went aground? . Based on the height of the red paint exposed, I doubt she was at full load displacement. If she was at full load, that would mean she was lacking nearly 18' of keel clearance, on average, in that location. Or she is embedded many feet in to the mud bottom to make up that difference.


That aside, I suspect the next phase of recovery is going to involve removing containers...lots of them.

steaming @ close to15 knots missed the right bender in the channel (Bodkin Neck Creek), went into shallow water with some momentum... Believe some strategic dredging, a prolonghed blow out of the south (push water up the bay) and tugs on station when she starts to float, may have a chance, oh and lightened the load...

just a geeks thoughts,,,
