Not sure, but I do know that a huge Italian buffet was spotted on one of the decks

Can't wait to open that thread. First, kindly resume supplies to Bd, SL, Nepal and Bhutan. We're happy to wait our turn..

Covid-19: How India missed its vaccination target

India is lagging behind in its vaccine target as demand falls.

www.bbc.co.uk

Luckily a more competent supplier has stepped in to plug the gap left by smiling "neighbours first" policies with hands joined..

"Until the exports stopped, India had donated the most vaccines worldwide. China now holds that position.
Countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka, which began their vaccine drives after receiving vaccine donations from India, have now given emergency approval to the Sinopharm vaccine, to be donated by China."

Go tell Modi that China has also adopted a policy of "supplying India's neighbours first".

...but wait, perhaps I'm being hasty in my condescending mockery, maybe you mean the *actual Indian* vaccine as opposed to the British one made under license..

The queue for that one is much shorter I heard:

china has very reluctantly consented to supply pakistan ten lakh doses ,but the price is double the normal on which they are supplying to the world in may . we will supply 400 lakh doses in june that is free for you .

You don't supply squat. Gavi supplies a British vaccine made under license in India. This is no different to other foreign products produced in India under license. Come back when one single foreign nation actually buys the genuine Indian vaccine.

Precisely, the Astra-Zeneca vaccine is being provided to the world at cost. There is no indian vaccine that comes close to Astra-Zeneca, Pfizer, Moderna in terms of efficiency and reliability.

Honestly, incompetence is becoming a biword for Indian workmanship. From crashing jets, sinking submarines to grounding this ship. Its also an open secret in the IT industry that Indian programmers do shoddy work. And now in every other sector this is becoming apparent.

I purchased made in India furniture last year, the quality was so poor the UK supplier gave me a full refund within 2 weeks! Without any arguments - so it's obviously a known problem.

A few experiences like these build a lasting image. It's no wonder Indian manufacturing exports are in deep trouble.

India’s manufacturing exports are declining big time, while raw material exports are going up

In contrast rivals like Vietnam and Bangladesh managed to post positive figures for their export of manufactures ranging from garments to light engineering.

First of all, all investigations start from the crew whether its a maritime incident or aviation.
SecondbMajority of the cargo ships and cruise ships are manned by Indians and other ethnicities from east asia. It's hard work to operate these ships especially considering the crew remains away from their families for months. And it isn't a highly paid job either considering the amount of time away from home.

Shipping lines wouldn't just hand over their multi million dollars assets to incompetent crew.

Is "Ever Given" Container Ship's Indian Crew At Fault For Blocking the Suez Canal?

Ever Given container ship that ran aground and blocked all shipping traffic through the Suez Canal, the busiest waterway in the world, has just been re-floated. The mega cargo ship's captain and the entire crew are Indian, the owners and shipbuilders are Japanese, the operator is German, the insurance company is British, the charterer is Taiwanese and the cargo is Chinese, according to media reports. The ship was reported blown aground by strong winds.

Ever Given Stuck in Suez Canal. Source: Bloomberg

The 200,000-ton, 1,312 ft-long, 175 ft-wide cargo ship got stuck in the Suez Canal last Tuesday. About 30% of global cargo ship traffic remained blocked with 50 ships added to the jam every day the vessel remained stuck, As of yesterday, there were $10 billion worth of goods with nowhere to go with more than 300 ships carrying products across multiple industries now stuck in the gridlock.

This is a major incident that will undoubtedly be investigated to prevent its recurrence. Early reports, however, indicate that there were significant errors made by the crew which might have contributed to the problem. Moments before the ship ran aground, the Ever Given was apparently traveling faster than a speed limit set by the Suez Canal Authority, Bloomberg reported. The ship's last recorded speed was 13.5 knots, logged 12 minutes before it grounded, according to Bloomberg, which cited its own data. The maximum allowed speed through the canal was between 7.6 knots and 8.6 knots, the report said. The Japan Times also reported the ship was traveling 13.5 knots, adding that two canal pilots were onboard when the ship hit land.

A Wall Street Journal report said that this is not the first time Ever Given has had problems at sea. On Feb. 9, 2019, the container ship ran into the 75-foot Finkenwerder, a pleasure ferry that was moored alongside a pontoon along the Elbe River in a suburb of Hamburg, Germany. It couldn't be learned if the current Indian captain of the ship was its captain when it hit the ferry.

Ever Given's #Indian crew may be arrested. The chairman of #Egypt's #SuezCanal Authority has estimated the total #economic damages from the casualty at about $1 billion. #SuezCrisis https://sgq.io/lrecelH

The Indian crew of the giant boxship Ever Given are no longer stuck in the lower section of the Suez Canal, but they could get stuck in Egypt for a long time, according to the Times of India. It is possible that they may face house arrest or even criminal charges in connection with the vessel's grounding, which closed the canal for six days and disrupted billions of dollars in trade.

"There is a clear danger that the crew will be made scapegoats," an Indian shipping industry source told the outlet.

The 25-member crew is in good health but stressed by the experience of the grounding, according to the head of Indian seafarers' union NUSI, Abdulgani Serang. "They are not alone and we will support them whenever required in whatever manner required," Serang said.

The Egyptian government's lead investigator, Captain Sayed Sheasha, told Reuters on Wednesday that the Ever Given's master has fully cooperated with the inquiry.

The pressure on the investigation into the grounding is high. The chairman of the Suez Canal Authority has estimated the total economic damages from the casualty at about $1 billion, and affected shipping interests will be looking to recoup their losses via insurance claims and litigation. Ever Given's insurer, Lloyd's of London, is preparing for a "large loss" in the range of $100 million. The Suez Canal is already back up to full capacity and is running around the clock, but commercial disputes related to the shutdown are expected to last for years.

The Ever Given herself appears to have been largely spared. A dive inspection on Wednesday revealed a limited amount of damage to her bow, but no other obvious signs of harm, according to the AP.

Precedent for seafarer detention

In Egypt, officers aboard detained vessels have occasionally ended up under a status equivalent to house arrest, sometimes for years, according to the International Transport Workers' Federation.

Mohammad Aisha - the chief mate of the seized container feeder Aman - has been stuck on board his vessel at an anchorage off Suez since 2017. For four years, an Egyptian court has bound him to the ship as its designated "legal guard," and local authorities have confiscated his passport. He has been alone on board for the last 15 months, except for an occasional swim to shore for food and water, according to the ITF.

Aisha is not the only mariner trapped in Egypt by a local court order. The ITF is also attempting to win freedom for the captain of the freighter Kenan Mete. Like Aisha, the master has been designated as his vessel's "legal guard," and he has been forbidden to leave Egypt until the ship's case is resolved or another guardian is appointed.

I was listening to a merchant navy captain.He explained the topic very neutrally.In his view it was shamal a fast sand storm type wind which blows from north with speed upto 110 km/hours.The strech of that part of canal was a little notoriuos. How ever engine failure could also be the cause.I am no expert here.

Perhaps the Indian sailors door distracted by the smell of their own body odor. It really did happen to the Indian navy in 2009

Remember Indian curry BO can be lethal

Let their be an investigation.
Lets not talk about it.
Usually Indian crew means Indian and Pakistani crew.
My friend,s ship is suppose to be on a Pakistani crew since he is a Pakistani captain, many of his mates are Indian.
please do not jump to the conclusion
please do not generalize

This f*c**r has gained 644 posts only by posting this video repeatedly. Anytime any thing to do with India, comes his only post in the form of this video.

This useless troll doesn’t even put adequate effort in trolling and keeps posting same video time and again.
Come on dude atleast be a worthy troll.

What you are saying is something any sane person would ask.

But most of the people put posts like this just for the purpose of trolling. They seem to know all the details in advance as if they have been sent an advance copy of the preliminary report and minute by minute progress of the same.
Most hilarious are the Chinese bots. Not one of them does anything other than trolling.
