Egypt 'seizes' megaship Ever Given which blocked the Suez Canal until the owners pay $900MILLION compensation

I wonder that the ship was travelling at the speed of twice what was allowed . why these advisers didnt do anything about it.

Because they are not supposed to take any physical control of the ship. Many ships transiting the Suez Canal don't know there are many rules and guidelines. It's not like a strait where Red marked buoys indicate the return direction and the green ones indicate passing through. That's common maritime navigation rules and even air coloring for starboard and port. So the advisor's roles is to inform the captains commandeering the ship certain areas when they have to keep to starboard or if there is a call from the traffic control center that the boat needs to anchor in the great bitter lake because the directions change every certain amount of hours.

All those rules are the responsibility of the advisor but in no way does it involve steering the ship. What a lot of these pilots also do is warn for tough areas and what speed to travel at and best to take the turn away from the markers by a certain distance etc.

In this case, according to Wiki, it said:

The ship, operated by Evergreen Marine, was en route from Malaysia to the Netherlands when it ran aground after strong winds allegedly blew the ship off course.

That can only mean that there was some miscalculation given as the draft of the ship (how far below the waterline is the keel) and that the captain didn't stay in the center where it's the deepest and many bigger and heavier ships have no problem steering through that section. How many times have US aircraft carriers made the Canal run without any issues? Captain hit some strong winds and didn't make the right correction of such a large ship which should have been moving relatively slow that he probably drifted to starboard and ran aground and got stuck. The super strong current the pushed the stern to starboard where it basically created a gate. So they need to figure out if the draft of the boat was called in correctly and get the advisor's statement as to what he witnessed the captain doing.

As a matter of fact, this is a new dredger the Suez Canal had ordered a year or so ago called the
Karakah to either work with the other one or replace it as it's more advanced in the dredging process;

The dredger will not be a fixed dredger like the dredger Mohab Mamish, but rather it will be a sucker-carrying model that walks and moves like the ship,
