Suez Canal needs a good dyno-rodding.

I think this might conceivably not end up on the BBC coverage of this event...

Amazed this hasn't happened before - I've checked the rules: https://www.suezcanal.gov.eg/English/Na ... ation.aspx
No reference whatever to not going through sideways or even a pointy-end-first recommendation.
I blame the canal operator (or whatever colonial power set up this time-bomb in the first place).

Re: Suez Canal needs a good dyno-rodding.
I read somewhere it did happen before, a smaller (Japanese?) ship suffered mechanical failure and grounded, it didn't take them long to shift it. This one's massive though. Maybe they'll be able to dredge enough rubbish out the way, if they don't they're going to have to unload it, er, somehow.
Ships were a bit smaller when it was built, it got enbiggened a few years back and actually seems to do ok most of the time..
So, do the rules say anything about drawing a huge cock and balls before plunging in, er, sideways?
