Boat faggin for a while (before Ever Given)
Nothing new here, other than it looks a little more in da middle of Bitter lake. 24-hour tracking shows it's anchored in the same spot for 24+ hours.

Ship was seized until reparation payment is made (and criminal investigation is complete).
"A megaship which blocked Egypt's Suez Canal and crippled world trade for nearly a week has been 'seized' on court orders until the vessel's owners pay $900 million, canal authorities said Tuesday.
"The MV Ever Given was seized due to its failure to pay $900 million in compensation, Suez Canal Authority chief Osama Rabie was quoted as saying by Al-Ahram, a state-run newspaper.
"The Japanese-owned, Taiwanese operated and Panama flagged vessel got diagonally stuck in the narrow but crucial global trade artery in a sandstorm on March 23, setting in motion a mammoth six-day-long effort by Egyptian personnel and international salvage specialists to dislodge it."
