- hinkley 6y agoIs it just me or is the Evergiven listing to port?
- dghlsakjg 6y agoEntirely possible. The tugs are hooked up pretty high so that could be part of it. The other part is that they may have intentionally shifted ballast or fuel to induce a port list to assist the salvage.
- rtkwe 6y agoThere were reports I read earlier that part of the unsticking process was pumping fuel and ballast water around to remove as much weight as possible from the bow of the ship. It's probably unbalanced the ship a bit and they're just waiting to get to the lake to pause and fix it to allow shipping to resume as fast as possible.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI'm only seeing that on two pictures, and in both there's a tugboat attached to the top front of the ship pulling it sideways.
