Latest news from the Suez crisis: Twitter has a solution for everything! So what if teams of experts haven’t been able to bail out the giant container ship Evergreen stuck in the Suez Canal, social media has come up with unique plans or, should we say crazy, to open one of the most crucial waterways in the world. In case the current Suez Crisis brings back memories of the tension of 1956, well, good news – nothing like that is happening right now. What happened was that an all-Indian crew of 25 from the Panamanian-flagged vessel named Ever Given lost their way due to a strong gust of wind and rugged tides and got stuck in diagonal. This led to the blockage of the Suez Canal and hampered the supply chain between Asia and Europe. The latest reports suggest that experts say that although water is sinking under the ship, it is still not clear when the giant ship can be refloated and free the canal.
So now that you know what the Suez Crisis 2021 is all about, check out these brilliant memes that can surely put a smile on anyone’s face. Here are the coolest and funniest “solutions” to unblock the Suez Canal:

The Suez Canal Authority has yet to take down the ship, but they made this great sizzle reel without the ship peeling off on what looks like a royalty-free version of the Tenet soundtrack https: //t.co/WEf27ekums pic.twitter.com/ZRTeO3m7yU

For those wondering why there are two boat names, a little detail. The name of the giant ship container IS “Ever Given”. Yes, we have seen these bold letters painted on the store saying “Evergreen”, but that is NOT the name of the ship. This is the name of the company that owns this vessel! The latest satellite images have shown that there are more than 100 small vessels stranded in the one “traffic jam”. There has been speculation on social media that Israel is offering its own response to the Suez Canal. Opened in 1869, the Suez Canal was the most important waterway. This can be measured by the fact that in terms of trade, companies are losing $ 10 billion because of supplies stranded in Suez Canal ships.
