原文內容：
container ship traveling through the Suez Canal got stuck on Tuesday,
blocking traffic through the critical route and creating a bottleneck for
dozens of other vessels.
The Panamanian-flagged ship, operated by the Evergreen Line, appeared to be
heading from the Chinese port of Ningbo to Rotterdam, with other stops
completed in Asia, according to data provided at vesselfinder.com. It was
identified as the Ever Given and left Egypt’s Suez Port (Port Tawfiq) late
Monday night after spending nearly 24 hours there.
But not long into its journey it stalled near Ma’diyah, just a few
kilometers to the north. There it remained at midnight, with at least seven
tug boats, all based in Egypt, trying to dislodge the Ever Given.
The 400-meter container ship was stuck at nearly a 45-degree angle across the
canal, its bow pointing northeast and its stern to the southwest. Vessels to
the north and south waited as the tugs tried to free the ship.
Another container ship and a bulk carrier sat in the canal, while tankers,
vehicle carriers and even a yacht or two clustered at the southern entrance
to the canal or off the coast of Fayed. Among them was the MNG Grenville, a
research ship, and the Meamina, a yacht flagged in the United Kingdom.
While there was no immediate word on the situation from either the Suez Canal
or Port Suez authorities, social media users were quick to take an interest.
“If you’re having a bad day, forgive yourself,” said one Twitter user. “
At least you didn’t get this massive cargo ship stuck.”
機翻如下：
週二，一艘穿越蘇伊士運河的集裝箱船卡住了，阻斷了這條關鍵航線的交通，並給其他數
十艘船造成了瓶頸。
根據船東網提供的資料，這艘掛巴拿馬旗的船由長榮航運經營，似乎是從中國寧波港駛往
鹿特丹，其他停靠站在亞洲完成。這艘船被確認為 "Ever Given "號，在埃及蘇伊士港
(Port Tawfiq)停留近24小時後，於週一深夜離開。
但在旅途中不久，它就在北邊幾公里外的Ma'diyah附近停了下來。午夜時分，它一直停留
在那裡，至少有七艘拖船試圖將 "Ever Given "號拖走，這些拖船的基地都在埃及。
這艘400米長的集裝箱船被卡在運河上，幾乎呈45度角，船頭指向東北，船尾指向西南。
北面和南面的船隻在等待，拖船試圖解救這艘船。
另一艘集裝箱船和一艘散貨船坐在運河裡，而油輪、汽車運輸船甚至一兩艘遊艇則聚集在
運河南口或法耶德海岸。其中有一艘研究船 "MNG Grenville "號和一艘懸掛英國國旗的
遊艇 "Meamina "號。
雖然蘇伊士運河或蘇伊士港當局都沒有立即公佈有關情況，但社交媒體用戶很快就對此產
生了興趣。
"如果你今天心情不好，請原諒自己。"一位推特用戶說。"至少你沒有讓這艘巨大的貨輪
卡住。"
心得/評論：
認命吧，長榮
不過對於長榮只是賠一筆大錢
弄壞運河、其他公司的貨運延期的賠償，自己家的貨物延期的賠償
短期全球航運大致上應該不受太大影響
但是到底是怎麼塞的啊？
