the article I read said that local pilots are used to maneuver the canal.
the ship brings on a local expert.. All Ships do.
So, who was the local expert pilot?
Why we shouldn't blame the pilot of the container ship stuck in Suez Canal

Was it weather? Ship malfunction? Pilot error? A perfect storm of all three? There is still much we don’t know yet about what went wrong in the Suez Canal, where one of the world’s biggest container ships is stuck diagonally, bringing billions of dollars in trade goods to a halt.
The Ever Given, operated by the Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine, but owned by the Japanese company Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd., is 400-metres long and weighs more than 220,000 tonnes. It was en route to the Netherlands but is stuck with one end gouged into the dirt on the side of the canal.
It appears, at this point, that weather is at least partially to blame. Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, a marine management firm responsible for the Ever Given, said “strong winds” were at fault for grounding the ship. Owners Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd. also said the ship had encountered “stormy weather.” In yet another statement, Evergreen Marine said “gusting winds of 30 knots caused the container ship to deviate from its course, suspectedly leading to the grounding.”
Thirty knots equates to roughly 55 kilometres per hour. Some reports say the strong winds were part of a sandstorm.
Early reports also suggested there was a power outage upon the ship, but Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement told The Associated Press “initial investigations rule out any mechanical or engine failure as a cause of the grounding.”
Wind can be particularly perilous to container ships in tight spaces because the tens of thousands of sea-cans aboard — providing a wall for the wind to blow against — can make navigation tricky, Gregory Tylawsky, a captain with the Maritime Expert Group, told the Wall Street Journal.

Furthermore, there’s something called the bank effect, according to Marine Insight, where the water between the canal bank and the ship’s hull can throw off steering as it flows from high pressure to low pressure areas.
The challenges of navigating a canal, such as the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal, means ships are required to have a canal pilot come aboard, someone who knows the canal and pilots it through.
Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement said there were two canal pilots from the Suez Canal Authority aboard when the ship ran aground.

While that raises some questions about who is at fault should something go wrong, the reality is that if anything goes wrong, it’s the ship master’s responsibility, according to Suez Canal Authority documents posted online by Seaways Marine, a company that offers ship services in the Suez Canal and surrounding area.
“Masters are held solely responsible for all damage or accidents of whatever kind resulting from the navigation or handling of their vessels directly or indirectly by day or night,” the document says.
Because the canal pilot “cannot know the defects or difficulties of manoeuvrability for every vessel,” the final responsibility rests with the top officer on the ship.
The identities of the actual canal pilots — usually experienced ship officers — who were aboard the Ever Given isn’t known. But some information exists about what it takes to become a canal pilot. Wartsila, a Finnish marine company that provides training simulators to the Suez Canal Authority’s Maritime Training and Simulation Centre, explains that there’s training done via simulator that mimics the challenges and conditions of the Suez Canal.
“There are many challenges,” says Sabry Nasr, the head of Suez training centre, says in a Wartsila blog post. “The increasing size of ships is one example. Wide ranging weather conditions include sandstorms that can limit visibility severely thus making the pilotage of large vessels extremely challenging. Emergency situations such as blackouts and rudder jam onboard vessels transiting the canal can be critical in the channel.”
Meanwhile, Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd. has apologized. “We sincerely apologize for causing a great deal of concern to the vessels scheduled to sail and their related parties while navigating the Suez Canal due to the accident of this vessel,” says a translation of the media release on the company’s website.
Estimates on how long it will take to free the ship vary from days to weeks.
Boskalis, a Dutch salvage firm, has been working on it. “It is, in a manner of speaking, a very heavy whale on the beach,” Boskalis chairman Peter Berdowski told the Dutch current affairs program “Nieuwuur” on Wednesday night.
SMIT Salvage has also been brought in to help. That’s one of the companies that lifted the Russian Kursk submarine from the bed of the Barents Sea after the disaster in 2000.
Nippon Salvage Co., of Japan, has also been contracted, reported Bloomberg News.
Boskalis, the BBC reports, is dredging the side of the canal in an attempt to free it. A next possible step could be removing the cargo, the fuel and ballast from the ship to lighten it so it can float.
At the moment, a fleet of tug boats is pushing and pulling the ship, trying to re-float it by pulling it off the banks — so far with little success, the BBC reports.
It is estimated that some 12 per cent of all world trade goes through the 193-kilometre canal, and around 30 per cent of all marine trade travel, which means should the delay linger, there could be a domino effect on prices of goods around the world.

>Idk anon.. he did kind of draw a dick before he did it.
Question anons
was the pilot that drew the dick in the ass the same pilot that got stuck in the canal?
i have read that the ship took on two local pilots to get it through the canal.
