"Some people have suggested unloading the ship. I don't think you realize the infrastructure required to unload a ship."

I would guess someone could figure out how to use a normal-ish crane to unload some of the containers and set them down in the sand. The top containers look like they are maybe 150 feet or so higher than ground level.

Even if so, now you've got a handful of containers on the sand and a giant ship stuck in the canal.

Sure. Just guessing that taking weight off of the end that's marooned in the sand might help.

Edit. Okay "ends".

It is crosswise and in the banks on both sides.
