What's Going On In the Suez? GROUNDHOG DAY EDITION - April 25, 2021

Associate Professor of History Sal Mercogliano of Campbell University (www.campbell.edu), former merchant mariner and professor of Maritime Industry Policy at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (www.usmma.edu) discusses the latest from the Suez and MV Ever Given.

In this episode, Sal discusses the continue fate of Ever Given in the Canal - which is starting to feel like the same day over, and over again. We also discuss the boon that the container lines are experiencing as a result of the uptick in demand. Some more details on the appeal in the Egyptian courts and the issue of General Average.

We also briefly talk about two accidents that did result in the loss of lives - a Liftboat that capsized in the Gulf of Mexico and the lost Indonesian submarine. Along with a special appearance by Peanut the dog.
