Maybe they can inflate a gigantic underwater balloon next to it and squeeze it out like a stent.

indigi posted:what, that's insane. what happened to the crews and stuff quote:“We were in a very comfortable prison,” Captain Miroslaw Proskurnicki of the Polish ship Jakarta said. “The first month was like a holiday. The second month was very hard. By the end of the third month, it was terrible.” With nothing to do besides clean the ships and do basic maintenance, the boats puttered aimlessly around Great Bitter Lake in an attempt to keep the engines well-tuned. With nowhere to go, the crews eventually set aside their homelands' differences, moored together, and formed an unofficial micronation of sorts, calling themselves the “Yellow Fleet,” a reference to the windswept sand that piled on their decks.

Xaris posted:the reason why "nudge it with another big ship" isn't being done is because no one at all is going to want to take insurance liability there at all. evergiven could already have some damage to it and lol. hypothetically "nudge it with another big ship" would otherwise maybe work if it weren't for that liability for damage is too great lol this is what happens when ships of that size "nudge" eachother

Rather than boring old dredging we should be using enormous shaped charges to quickly move move large volumes of sand. If we don't have any big enough explosives we can always try low-yield nukes.

bedpan posted:This is a very real possibility that becomes more likely as desperate methods are attempted to dislodge the ship. Ships can carry huge amounts of weight, but only if that weight is then supported by water. When there is no water, the hull begins to buckle under the weight of the cargo and problems just get worse from there. It is also entirely possible that during the tugging attempts, the hull is damaged below the waterline and the hold fills with water. Lots of things can go wrong and if something goes wrong, the ship will have to come out in pieces. Somewhere a junior VP actuary just hung themself.
