Why Ships Crash

OBSAH

On 23 March 2021, the Ever Given, one of the largest container ships ever built, ploughed into the sandy bank of the Suez Canal, blocking the entire waterway. It stopped all traffic in one of the most important shipping lanes in the world for almost a week, causing a "ship jam" of over 300 vessels and delaying deliveries of billions of pounds of vital food, fuel and medical supplies. The disruption to the global supply chain lasted for months.
