Many experts has commented that it was due to heavy wind and the role of ship squatting and bank effect of suez canal which can be considered as the main reason behind the suez canal blockage.
The bank effect and the squat effect on a ship happen in when the ship is in narrow canal with shallow water. Due to the ship bank effect, it tends to move away from the line of course which may lead to collision or grounding, which was seen in the case of Evergreen ship got stuck in Suez canal.

Yes bank effect.. i read somewhere that the ship was steaming at higher speed in order to counter act the gusts,
So the speed was higher that usual and might have caused the vessel to swing to stbd

[@marineinsight]

Yes, higher speed might be an added factor for the accident.

[@elusive6677]

@@marineinsight the ships LOA IS 400MTRS,
so even the slightest swinging could have caused the accident , and the gusty wind might have made counter rudder inputs to nil effect

[@marineinsight]

@@elusive6677 Absolutely.. it's a very expensive lesson to be learned.

In other words ships in such canals definitely need some extra maneuvering thrusters to deal with high lateral winds and rudder inst always enough.

The captain and pilot knows about that but you cannot avoid accidents. It will happen anywhere

[@amarishsingh1586]

So wind effect doesn't play any role 🤔

[@marineinsight]

Of course it does...this video is pointing out only squat and bank effect.

What happened to the captain of that ship??

The ship has been held by Suez Canal authorities and the crew is still onboard.

You are confusing more than making it easily understandable
