I've been wondering about something ever since this ship got stuck. There are cranes on over that ship so why didn't they just unload some of the cargo containers onto other ships to lighten the load?

I am amazed at how many containers fall out of ships because of weather and human error. Not something you want to hit with your boat when they are still floating.

I've been wondering about something ever since this ship got stuck. There are cranes on over that ship so why didn't they just unload some of the cargo containers onto other ships to lighten the load? they were getting ready to do that next when they got it out. There's also a lot of water ballast in the bottom that they'd planned to start pumping out.

Quarter-mile long.
200,000 T. About 400 million pounds.
Pretty big boat.

At least there aren't any icebergs in the Middle East.
I wonder what would happen if Somalian pirates captured it. I don't know how they'd get aboard, though. The gunwales are more than 50' up.
