Interesting sequence. You can see the pilots being dropped off on a couple of ships (blue icons) and then the Ever Given. Once it has a pilot, it circles to get proper spacing with the ship ahead and sequences into the canal.
As the ship goes through the canal, it goes towards the east bank (consistent with a strong gust of wind blowing it off course) and then veers into the west bank. Looks like they overcompensated when they were blown off-course.
- pacificmint 6y ago> it goes towards the east bank (consistent with a strong gust of wind blowing it off course) Apparently the wind was coming from the east, so it was more likely the opposite, a lull. The ship was oversteering to the left the whole time because of the strong wind. When there was a sudden lull in the wind it got too close to the left side. The bank effect might have then pushed the bow away and pulled the stern in, resulting in the ship getting wedged. [1] has a good description of the situation and the bank effect.
