> The Ever Given was carrying around approx. 18 000 containers

This is a mind-boggling number, I didn't realize those ships carried so much load. Insurance premiums must be crazy

It IS mind boggling. Just the engine on these ships is the size of a 3 story building.

Passage fees on the Suez can run up to half a million usd for a ship this size.
