Hey, Shipping Analyst here
The "finger trap" was spot on and something not mentioned in the Stirling Salvage lecture with Flexport. One extra thing of note: If you look at the bathymetric maps you can see that only the eastern half of the canal is deep enough to support cargo ship operations, the other half of the canal is for tenders and smaller vehicles. So the suction effect was very pronounced because the actual useable canal volume was much smaller.
Overall 10/10, very simple and gets down to the heart of the issue. I'm glad to see people are paying attention to maritime infrastructure, despite the fact that it has a huge impact on our lives most people don't know all that much about it. Stuff like the container crunch and everything else influencing global shipping sorta goes unnoticed usually.

I have been on the helm of a ship that started to experience bank suction. Itās the strangest feeling. You start to go sideways and steering away from the bank only puts your prop and rudder closer to the side. All you can do is slow down to reduce the squat and ease it away. But if it happens near a bend, game over. You need a lot of distance to overcome it

Hey Grady, just want to say thank you for your videos. I'm not an engineer and I haven't studied advanced math or physics etc. Nonetheless, I love finding out about infrastructure, hydraulics and what makes this modern world of ours tick There's always an " ah " moment watching these videos. So keep up the good work - from one layman to an expert. Good on ya mate!

I was stuck in the convoy behind the evergiven for almost two weeks. This explains a lot but the only false piece off information you gave was about the pilots. They have very little special knowledge and are often only there to exploit their position of power to gain ābribesā of cigarettes money and other goods
