FROM SHORE TO SHORE, IT IS WIDE AT HIGH TIDE —— TIDE HELPS SUEZ CANAL STRANDED "EVER GIVEN" FREIGHTER OUT OF DIFFICULTY

  • Based on the analysis of poems Jingxi, ChuzhouXijian, and Under the Cibeigu Mountain, which was written by Du Xunhe, Wei Yingwu,Wangwan, respectively, we analyze the incident that the stranded container ship, Ever Given, blocked the Suez Canal in Egypt on March 23, 2021, and explore the possible scientific principles of the grounding, re-float, and moving of the container ship. We conclude that Ever Given may be stranded by "wall effect", for which the canal was blocked by "self-crossing" due to strong wind, and finally, the ship got out of the trouble with the help of "tide".
