Photos and sarcastic online words about the Ever Given ship blocking the Suez Canal are the driving force behind the engineers to put the effort into saving the ship.

Eslam Negm is a 32-year-old engineer working on the Egyptian Baraka 1 tugboat involved in the rescue operation of the Ever Given ship stranded on the Suez Canal from March 23.

On the morning of March 29, Negm stood on the deck of the Baraka 1 tugboat and thought about all the online pictures of the stranded ship.

One of those photos was of a giant ship lying next to a lone excavator, as if implicitly referring to a hopeless attempt to rescue the ship.

The Ever Given is owned by a Japanese company, operated by a shipping company in Taiwan, flying the flag in Panama and has an Indian crew.

A man waved the Egyptian flag when the ship Ever Given was successfully rescued on March 29.

Until the third day the ship stuck, Lloyd's List in London estimates that damage to global trade can am to 400 million USD per hour.

It was online ridicule and pressure from estimated damage caused by the incident that caused the Egyptian engineers to attempt to rescue the ship.

"We were all exhausted, taking into account the possibility of failure but still determined," Negm said.

On March 29, tugboat engineers cheered with joy when Ever Given had moved slightly.

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi also tweeted praising the successful rescue of the ship to underline the role of Egyptian workers.

"By overcoming all problems with the efforts of the Egyptians, all the world can be assured of the way their goods are transported and their need to move through this maritime lifeline," he said.
