Now how would you move that thing? It;s probably sitting about 10 meters down in goop.

As for the stuff on board....I guess the shelves in payless shoes will be a little bare this spring. :lol:

They're just trying to tug boat it out... like the old hammer analogy. If it don't work at first, get a bigger tug boat.

They will probably have to crane of some of the containers, that will probably involve building a temporary road. They may also have to do some dredging as well as it loks like it had a fair bit of momentum at the time. In short a very expensive mess.

It's going to take weeks to fix that problem. Damn the cost of time lost would be ridiculous!

At typical rates they are losing about $40,000US per day in lost charter revenue and have been there since Christmas day already. That's $680,000US in lost revenue alone, add in expenses like hiring in salvage tugs at a daily rate and it's ...............wow.
