Experts working to dislodge a cargo ship stuck in the Suez Canal have managed to budge it's stern and get the propeller working again.

Heavy tugboats have been deployed to free the vessel and 9,000 tons of water were removed to lighten its load.

The 200,000-ton 'Ever Given' has been stuck for five days now and is blocking the passage of at least 321 other ships.

Experts estimate at least 11 billion Australian dollars-worth of trade is being held up each day.

Video Wind pure drift encounter - practical experiments for getting useful data

published on 8 July 2022

How to get information for wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters – or current? - this will be described in this movie:
- Measure Drift speed, due to beam wind with no propulsion;
- Measure drift speed using full thrusters
- Estimate wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters – or current...
- Finally there is a simple formula as Rule of Thumb: the transverse drift speed is about 7-8% of wind speed!
