Tugboat Operators Celebrate as They Move the Suez Canal Ship
Some (very minor) celebration is in order.

Be sure to check back in when it moves one more degree.

THE SHIP MOVED!! Although just 17 metres but this is good indication. The tugboats are all sounding their foghorns in jubilation. #SuezBLOCKED#suezcanel#Suez#Evergreenship#Evergivenpic.twitter.com/YGuJaQv4mQ
