Hey, Shipping Analyst here The "finger trap" was spot on and something not mentioned in the Stirling Salvage lecture with Flexport. One extra thing of note: If you look at the bathymetric maps you can see that only the eastern half of the canal is deep enough to support cargo ship operations, the other half of the canal is for tenders and smaller vehicles. So the suction effect was very pronounced because the actual useable canal volume was much smaller. Overall 10/10, very simple and gets down to the heart of the issue. I'm glad to see people are paying attention to maritime infrastructure, despite the fact that it has a huge impact on our lives most people don't know all that much about it. Stuff like the container crunch and everything else influencing global shipping sorta goes unnoticed usually.
The tides that helped free the ship were Spring tides, When the earth, moon, and Sun line up-which happens at times of full moon or new moon-the lunar and solar tides reinforce each other, leading to more extreme tides, called spring tides
@@matthewberner9732 That is poor logic. The canal is designed to be operated at different tidal levels and they are absolutely known and planned for by every ship that passes through. More to the point, it was a rising tide at the time the Ever given was stuck, mitigating that as a factor.

I have been on the helm of a ship that started to experience bank suction. It’s the strangest feeling.

@@caferace8418 would be interesting to do the route once. I had no idea it was such a low tech short cut.I forget the bloke's name who did a YT video on the blockage but its also not that deep when you take into account some of those floating islands that pass through it.
@@markwillies4330 It is quick the experience, I've been through 3 times. I think large ships have a smallest draft than people think. Our aircraft carrier was something like 40 feet, which isn't much considering the flight deck was 90ft off the water.

Hey Grady, just want to say thank you for your videos. I'm not an engineer and I haven't studied advanced math or physics etc. Nonetheless, I love finding out about infrastructure, hydraulics and what makes this modern world of ours tick There's always an " ah " moment watching these videos. So keep up the good work - from one layman to an expert. Good on ya mate!
That little excavator didn’t do too badly though, testament to the operator’s determination, well someone had to get it started. Very nice presentation, very nice.
The googly eyes are why I subscribe to your channel, Grady. Perfect demonstration of the physical world...and the perfect amount of nerdy humor snuck right in with it.
As a deck officer who works on these kinds of ships, thank you for explaining bank suction/cushion so intuitively and simply! It would be great if in the future you covered these forces, the forces between two ships passing in a narrow channel (look up playing Texas Chicken in the Houston Ship Channel ;) or bulbous bows like you said. Thanks Grady!
I'm no engineer or related to science studies but I'm a huge fan of this channel. Got to learn so much, literally answers a lot questions that my curious mind has. Thank you for making this videos. ❤
I'd always just assumed that the canal lanes were wide enough that this wasn't possible. Seeing that scale image of the Evergiven sitting in the canal really puts into perspective how stressful and precarious it must be for the captains piloting one of these vessels.
I get the feeling that it's a case of the regulations regarding size were too lax. So, naturally someone built a line of ships that's right at the limit. It turns out that's a good way to cause accidents.
@@arthurmoore9488 eh, if there’s anything about the shipping industry it’s that it’s extreeeemely regulated. Every single aspect. The amount of money and cost to continually maintain/dredge deeper and wider channels is no joke. The canal authority sets the maximum limits of ship size so of course the industry, which takes advantage of economies of scale, build the larger ships to be more competitive. It’s done safely all the time, and one bridge teams mistake doesn’t necessarily show the canal transit to be unreasonably precarious
There are other things to be considered here, first is the question of silting or sanding up due to propellor action and or tidal motion that the authorities neglected to mention. For instance It could be that UKC under keel clearance was reduced because if this and with say some extra speed resulted in the bernoulli principal coming into play which reduced the UKC further.. ie squat effect..no need for me to explain further here..jusf go check out squat effect and bernouilli
There is strong incentive or pressure that drives the ships to be larger. Given enough time the surrounding structures or institutions yield to that pressure.
Excellent explanation! My father was a civil engineer and I appreciate you letting me nerd out like I used to do when dad was still alive. You even resemble him when he was younger.
As someone who has zero knowledge of engineering, and not a whole lot more interest in it, I thank you - and commend you - for such a clear and understandable explanation of what happened.
You explained one of this year's top engineering issues so well in such a little time! Kudos and thank you once again for your detailed, to the point and simplified explanations of engineering wisdom.
This was a very good presentation about a “rather sticky” situation. Your demo canal showed your efforts to clear up the many forces, and counter forces hidden from a layman’s eyes.This is a situation where simple solutions become lost due to the massive size.
What I got from this video: Be careful where you put your bulbous appendage. The last thing you want is to have to dig it out with the whole world watching.
@@timrutkevich3222 by the way the captain of the ship didn't want the Egyptian pilot escorts which is optional and he did not stick to the Egyptian guidance as their were strong wind at that day and the captain were speeding, it has nothing to do with bribes or corruption but its all about dont make yourself smarter than you are and in reality you are dump just like you
i really like you starting to include more current events in your engineering lessons. you have really made engineering more interesting and accessible to the rest of us.
I was suppose to transit the Suez the day after this happened but because of this incident I was unable to. Ended up waiting about a week. The amount of ships backed up out of the Suez right after this was insane.
Hey Juan. When I watched this video, I remembered your's. I think you had a better, more comprehensive explanation early on when the incident first happened.
yeah, people are like, why did it take so long. I was like, ship is now a building, better lean back and relax, it will have to be disassembled, it'll take at least a month to cut it into pieces, I was surprised and spit my coffee like that meme
@@monad_tcp Can you imagine being the ship in line right behind the Ever Given? Watching the channel get blocked, knowing you're going to be stuck for some time? I was on the freeway once when a huge wreck happened right in front of me. The freeway was blocked from one side to the other, 100% blocked with no way to get around it. Multiple major injuries and 2 deaths. I was first in line to get by when the eventually cleared a hole to drive through, but it was about 3 hours before that happened. I was just delayed, no real harm for me. Can't say the same for the cement truck behind me. His load set while we waited!
They did get more dredging equipment in, not just that one excavator, but they also had a spring tide when they finally got it unstuck, meaning the sun and moon were lined up right to make the tide a little higher than regular tides. The tide's effect on water flowing through that canal was also helpful, I think.
My Dad would have loved your channel. He was a mechanical engineer specializing in heating and cooling systems for cars. He loves all things mechanical.
I enjoyed this - I'm a mechanical engineer, so soils aren't in my field - fascinating that the bow would be more firmly clamped in the harder you pull on it! Well presented.
@@mohamedwagdy1598 few years back I got a question about the Boeing 737-Max crashes that had just happened. One week before that exam I had watched a youtube video on the subject and it might've given me the push from a pass to a pass with distinction :D
OK, so know one heard about the thousands of children being trafficked that were on board , or the weather weapons. Dig deep wake up your being lied to.
I love this channel so much. Thank you for being such a reasonable, well thought out, and practical source of information to the world and all its intricacies on how it works. The world would legit be a better place is everyone watched your content.
My Uncle (Mack) was reported to have been the pilot for the first ship, a U S destroyer, to pass through the canal after its reopening long after the 67 war. Ships were at anchor all along the canal.
The Suez Canal actually has a great past record of safe navigation. Given the huge volume of traffic passing through the canal, exceptionally very few incidents happen and most of them are caused by either mechanical failure of the vessels, some human error or bad weather. I cannot remember any incident that has the canal infrastructure itself as the cause of the incident.
I am inspired by how much information you can stack up in one video with all the real incident references and covering the hydro and geotechnical aspects seamlessly.
Grady, I find all your videos interesting and informative but I want to thank you especially for this one and the one about the Texas power outage in Feb. Both of these stories were meme'd and made into soundbites, but neither was very well explained until you did it.
Can you imagine being the first ship to be sent back through the canal after the Ever Given was finally unstuck? The amount of pressure on _not having the exact same thing happen a second time_ must have been absolutely crushing for the navigators.
I was stuck in the convoy behind the evergiven for almost two weeks. This explains a lot but the only false piece off information you gave was about the pilots. They have very little special knowledge and are often only there to exploit their position of power to gain “bribes” of cigarettes money and other goods
It is normal that a maritime pilot acts only as an advisor to the vessels master who remains in overall charge of the ship. Except for one place in the world where the pilot takes over command of the ship. That place is the Panama canal.
@@trever9143 hi Trever. I think it stems back to the builders of the canal, the American government, to ensure the security of the canal it was and still is a requirement to hand over total control of the vessel to the Panama pilot.
Thank you, I knew there was more to it than reported on the news. I hope you have the time, energy and inclination to do a follow up when the various investigations are released. It surprises me just how quickly they dealt with a weeks worth of traffic! That must have been a hair-raising logistical nightmare.
This is probably the best video I have seen from someone not in the industry. They are usually hopelessly clueless about the practices, responsibilities regarding pilots, engineering side or make some wild unfounded claim regards to why the ship got stuck. This was factual, to the point and without errors. Bravo.
Even from France, your videos are appreciated and really amazing. Thank you for all the time you spent to make engineering clear enough to be understood by everyone. A.D.
I first learned about the bank effect's role in the grouding of Ever Given in a Kyle Hill video, released like a week ago. Also if you want to learn about the bulbous bow, and many other ship-specific technical stuff, Casual Navigation is a fantastic channel.
@@gmcinnis6304 No, mine kept leaking so I used silicon and sold it at a garage sale to a homeless man for $1.00. Currently on display atop a shopping cart at a nearby grocery store.
Kept seeing this recommended to me. Never heard of this channel before. Watched a couple other videos that seemed a little more interesting to me first and love it. Really good videos, clear, concise and enjoyable. Subbed!
I guess a firetruck might have been a better choice of tool, the flow of large amounts of water towards the canal might have helped achieving the desired movement...
My favorite related fact about the Ever Given, was that another ship, owned by the same company, was the one that lost a shipping container full of rubber ducks. Which as they washed up on beaches, allowed scientists to map ocean currents
Thank you for your brilliant explanation. You are a brilliant communicator! I'm often the one person that is thrilled by such detailed technical information, within a crowd of voices shouting "who cares, it's fixed." I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to hear your channel. I just subscribed. Thank you for sharing your brain.
(Unless you were on the EG's bridge) Remember, you may have screwed up today, but at least you didn't screw up so badly that the Moon had to pitch in to fix it.
@@erikhendrickson59 if is far from the issues caused during the real Suez Canal Crisis. Years of the the canal being broken because of a war happening across the canal.
I’m a boat captain. And recently had to take an advanced ship handling class. We had to study in great detail these effects. In the simulator I ran a ship aground on porpoise on the Mississippi River, even in the simulator it was a little scary.
Did you look into the fact that the windows system used to operate this ship was hacked?! Bring that to the discussion and watch your instructors head spin.
I'm a Navigation Officer I have taken ships through the canal. My opinion is that without a mechanical failure, it was most likely a large gust of wind. Windage can effect the ship just as much or more than bank and squat effect. One minute of strong enough wind would be more than enough to change the ships rate of turn, enough to hit the side of the canal. Also squat effect on the steerage could have contributed.
Hello Captain Phil. As a layman of shipping I'm wondering why these exceptionally big ships are not towed through the channel. The margin of error seems so small, that it almost looks like an accident waiting to happen. Would having 2 tow vessels pulling the ship through such a narrow channel give better lateral control, or is this too simplistic thinking?
@@evviper24 yes, some ships have a tug escort but not often. First tugs cost a lot of money to hire. Then the way the canal works is with convoys of ships, if each convoy (South and North) had 10 ships and each ship had two tug boats the convoys now total 60 vessels and would be too long to pass each other using the two lane system in the middle. Also the only way the convoy moves together is by speed matching, at about 8 knots. If you try to speed match a convoy of 30 vessels it wouldn't work, unless the tug boat mooring lines were very slack, in which case there might not be any point in attaching them. Also tug operations are usually very slow, less than 4 knots. At 8 knots it would be difficult for a tug boat to make any difference to the bow of the Ever Given because of the weight of the ship and the inertia of it moving forward.
I am not a navigation officer, but I do have a knowledge of engineering and navigation, and I agree that the most likely cause of the accident was the wind. And more specifically, they would have tried to steer slightly into the wind in order to prevent the wind from pushing the ship towards the left bank (the wind was coming from the east). So they would have tried to steer a few degrees east of the center-line of the canal. However, the exact number of degrees for this correction depends on the speed of the wind at any time, and what seems to have happened was that the wind dropped somewhat when the accident occurred, and neither the captain nor the pilot noticed this, and they failed to correct the direction of the ship, with the result that the ship started approaching the right bank, and ended up digging in. After which, the inertia of the ship pushed the stern towards the left bank. So from the engineering and navigational points of view it's not really difficult to understand what happened.
You make thr subject easy to understand to the layman. I've watched about 10-12 videos so far any gain knowledge after each one. Keep up the GOOD WORK !!!
When you mentioned geo technical, reminds me when someone said soils engineering is a combination of art and science. Getting a PE in civil engineering and doing CE work is one thing. But soils engineering is a whole level up. We've all seen unknown blunders that occurred when everything was "done right" but a year later after a new road is built, the surface becomes like a rollercoaster ride.
@@nunya257 Part of the answer is that the roads that survived were built in stable, well-behaved soils. Any that were built in unstable soils have been torn up centuries ago. Look up "Survivor Bias".

@@brokentombot It's almost like people mistakenly believe that the Evergreen is the ship's name because it's on the side of the ship in 1 billion font.
@@shoam2103 The Ever Given is no longer relevant as it's sailed away. Another way to say it's too late to do something is to say 'That ship has sailed.' So my joke is late because the Ever Given has sailed.

The biggest thing I learned about this disaster was that the Suez Canal is literally just a hole cut into the desert. I had thought it at least had a concrete basin or something to protect the soil/sand from erosion.
Same here I didn't realise that the canal was just one long "gat" or "Loopgraaf"
Afrikaans for hole and trench
I mean, it was built in the 19th century. When Lesseps tried to do the same at Panama, the terrain was more than enough to defeat him there.
I was made aware of it in the navy. Water was shut off on the ship because soil could be sucked up when pumping in water.
@@caferace8418 would be interesting to do the route once.

I'd always just assumed that the canal lanes were wide enough that this wasn't possible. Seeing that scale image of the Evergiven sitting in the canal really puts into perspective how stressful and precarious it must be for the captains piloting one of these vessels.
I get the feeling that it's a case of the regulations regarding size were too lax. So, naturally someone built a line of ships that's right at the limit. It turns out that's a good way to cause accidents.
@@arthurmoore9488 eh, if there’s anything about the shipping industry it’s that it’s extreeeemely regulated. Every single aspect. The amount of money and cost to continually maintain/dredge deeper and wider channels is no joke. The canal authority sets the maximum limits of ship size so of course the industry, which takes advantage of economies of scale, build the larger ships to be more competitive. It’s done safely all the time, and one bridge teams mistake doesn’t necessarily show the canal transit to be unreasonably precarious
There are other things to be considered here, first is the question of silting or sanding up due to propellor action and or tidal motion that the authorities neglected to mention. For instance It could be that UKC under keel clearance was reduced because if this and with say some extra speed resulted in the bernoulli principal coming into play which reduced the UKC further.. ie squat effect..no need for me to explain further here..jusf go check out squat effect and bernouilli
😫
There is strong incentive or pressure that drives the ships to be larger. Given enough time the surrounding structures or institutions yield to that pressure.

This was a very good presentation about a “rather sticky” situation. Your demo canal showed your efforts to clear up the many forces, and counter forces hidden from a layman’s eyes.This is a situation where simple solutions become lost due to the massive size.
What I got from this video: Be careful where you put your bulbous appendage. The last thing you want is to have to dig it out with the whole world watching.
What I got from this video: you better pay good bribes to the pilots and other Egyptian officials, so they don't cause such issue and blame on you.
that requires lots of money and lawyers. lessons learned... some ... men are slow learners on that one. i dont get it myself, but...
That is worth a hearty laugh. Thank you!
And that depending on where you stick your bulbous appendage, it may be difficult to pull out.
@@timrutkevich3222 by the way the captain of the ship didn't want the Egyptian pilot escorts which is optional and he did not stick to the Egyptian guidance as their were strong wind at that day and the captain were speeding, it has nothing to do with bribes or corruption but its all about dont make yourself smarter than you are and in reality you are dump just like you
i really like you starting to include more current events in your engineering lessons. you have really made engineering more interesting and accessible to the rest of us.
I was suppose to transit the Suez the day after this happened but because of this incident I was unable to. Ended up waiting about a week. The amount of ships backed up out of the Suez right after this was insane.

@@monad_tcp Can you imagine being the ship in line right behind the Ever Given? Watching the channel get blocked, knowing you're going to be stuck for some time?
I was on the freeway once when a huge wreck happened right in front of me. The freeway was blocked from one side to the other, 100% blocked with no way to get around it. Multiple major injuries and 2 deaths. I was first in line to get by when the eventually cleared a hole to drive through, but it was about 3 hours before that happened.
I was just delayed, no real harm for me. Can't say the same for the cement truck behind me. His load set while we waited!
They did get more dredging equipment in, not just that one excavator, but they also had a spring tide when they finally got it unstuck, meaning the sun and moon were lined up right to make the tide a little higher than regular tides. The tide's effect on water flowing through that canal was also helpful, I think.

My Uncle (Mack) was reported to have been the pilot for the first ship, a U S destroyer, to pass through the canal after its reopening long after the 67 war. Ships were at anchor all along the canal.
1:53 When you need a sign stating “safe” and “secure”... definitely nothing shady going on.
yeah, but the reason they put it is bc of the series of terror attacks and civil unrest in egypt past decades
Same with "land of the free, home of the brave" the "defender of democracy", right? Nothing but the plain, simple truth!
@@zazugee Ahhh yes. That does make the sign make more sense.
The Suez Canal actually has a great past record of safe navigation. Given the huge volume of traffic passing through the canal, exceptionally very few incidents happen and most of them are caused by either mechanical failure of the vessels, some human error or bad weather. I cannot remember any incident that has the canal infrastructure itself as the cause of the incident.
"Safe and secure".
Sound of 1973 Yom Kippur War, that closed the canal for 7 years, laughing maniacally in the background.
I am inspired by how much information you can stack up in one video with all the real incident references and covering the hydro and geotechnical aspects seamlessly.
Grady, I find all your videos interesting and informative but I want to thank you especially for this one and the one about the Texas power outage in Feb. Both of these stories were meme'd and made into soundbites, but neither was very well explained until you did it.
Can you imagine being the first ship to be sent back through the canal after the Ever Given was finally unstuck? The amount of pressure on _not having the exact same thing happen a second time_ must have been absolutely crushing for the navigators.
And yet, it could have been just so comedic if it had happened
I was waiting for a good and understandable explanation, you're always the best at this
Excellent presentation
The Suez Canal is the best shortcut for ships moving to Europe
Never thought I'd find civil engineering so fascinating.
I was stuck in the convoy behind the evergiven for almost two weeks. This explains a lot but the only false piece off information you gave was about the pilots. They have very little special knowledge and are often only there to exploit their position of power to gain “bribes” of cigarettes money and other goods
It is normal that a maritime pilot acts only as an advisor to the vessels master who remains in overall charge of the ship. Except for one place in the world where the pilot takes over command of the ship. That place is the Panama canal.
@@vectravi2008 why only in panama?
@@trever9143 hi Trever. I think it stems back to the builders of the canal, the American government, to ensure the security of the canal it was and still is a requirement to hand over total control of the vessel to the Panama pilot.
@@vectravi2008 many portmasters take controls of the ship when entering major ports
@@asylumville8544 not so. They may pilot the vessel but the ships master is in ultimate control. Except for the Panama canal.
Thank you, I knew there was more to it than reported on the news. I hope you have the time, energy and inclination to do a follow up when the various investigations are released. It surprises me just how quickly they dealt with a weeks worth of traffic! That must have been a hair-raising logistical nightmare.
I mean just make bigger convoys and do this 2 times a day should keep it flowing
This is probably the best video I have seen from someone not in the industry.
They are usually hopelessly clueless about the practices, responsibilities regarding pilots, engineering side or make some wild unfounded claim regards to why the ship got stuck.

Did you look into the fact that the windows system used to operate this ship was hacked?! Bring that to the discussion and watch your instructors head spin.
Really appreciate units in meters :) Great video!!
I'm a Navigation Officer I have taken ships through the canal. My opinion is that without a mechanical failure, it was most likely a large gust of wind. Windage can effect the ship just as much or more than bank and squat effect. One minute of strong enough wind would be more than enough to change the ships rate of turn, enough to hit the side of the canal. Also squat effect on the steerage could have contributed.
Hello Captain Phil. As a layman of shipping I'm wondering why these exceptionally big ships are not towed through the channel. The margin of error seems so small, that it almost looks like an accident waiting to happen. Would having 2 tow vessels pulling the ship through such a narrow channel give better lateral control, or is this too simplistic thinking?
@@evviper24 yes, some ships have a tug escort but not often. First tugs cost a lot of money to hire. Then the way the canal works is with convoys of ships, if each convoy (South and North) had 10 ships and each ship had two tug boats the convoys now total 60 vessels and would be too long to pass each other using the two lane system in the middle. Also the only way the convoy moves together is by speed matching, at about 8 knots. If you try to speed match a convoy of 30 vessels it wouldn't work, unless the tug boat mooring lines were very slack, in which case there might not be any point in attaching them. Also tug operations are usually very slow, less than 4 knots. At 8 knots it would be difficult for a tug boat to make any difference to the bow of the Ever Given because of the weight of the ship and the inertia of it moving forward.
When we do use tugs usually we attach one forward and one aft.
I am not a navigation officer, but I do have a knowledge of engineering and navigation, and I agree that the most likely cause of the accident was the wind. And more specifically, they would have tried to steer slightly into the wind in order to prevent the wind from pushing the ship towards the left bank (the wind was coming from the east). So they would have tried to steer a few degrees east of the center-line of the canal.
However, the exact number of degrees for this correction depends on the speed of the wind at any time, and what seems to have happened was that the wind dropped somewhat when the accident occurred, and neither the captain nor the pilot noticed this, and they failed to correct the direction of the ship, with the result that the ship started approaching the right bank, and ended up digging in. After which, the inertia of the ship pushed the stern towards the left bank. So from the engineering and navigational points of view it's not really difficult to understand what happened.
If wind gusts are sufficient it is a wonder Ever Given events are not more frequent.
You make thr subject easy to understand to the layman. I've watched about 10-12 videos so far any gain knowledge after each one. Keep up the GOOD WORK !!!
