The US government does it all the time as well. They'll publish the arrest of the ship and the court to file a claim in.

Those are fantastic examples. I'm not sure if the Egyptian courts will use the exact same terminology, but if this was in a US court it would be United States v. SS EVER GIVEN.

How about just leave Ever Stuck in place and make it into an outdoor museum/hotel/resort? Use the resulting income to dig a detour. Jabor posted:There's a russian battleship down there, isn't there? Just form up a convoy with gunboat escorts like you're back in world war ii. Russian navy oil tanker, I'm sure they can fend off pirates but a tanker is not exactly a pirate pursuer.

It's okay though, because now it's been brought to Egypt's attention that the canal is vulnerable to blockage and an important economic resource, so I'm sure they'll rethink their security procedures now that they know that.

The procedures involves getting way more bakshish by only allowing certified premium suez captains to drive through it, to be renewed yearly. You also need a straight line permit, only 400k annually on top of the usual costs. Premium Suez Captains need to be Egyptian and can only be trained by the government. Their usual fee is 10% of your cargos net worth, they keep 5%,the other five goes to the government
