Can you ask him what he thinks about using cofferdams for raising the water level ( instead of lowering it).

I'm actually curious in hearing potential problems or ( if it would be plausible) a raw estimation of duration ( since you mentioned 20 weeks, that's a huge timeline).

Edit: I don't know anything about this subject. So it's interesting to learn/ask some stuff I wouldn't encounter otherwise.

He said it works in theory.

He didn't estimate timeline, but it would take longer than a weight/crane operation. If the situation was much worse (partial capsize, somehow deeper entrenched on the coast), this might be a more plausible option. With the containers in an accessible location, it should be faster to organize a weight redistribution campaign instead. Just thinking about the logistics of safely building and deconstructing the dam made his head spin a little bit.

Thanks for asking him, really appreciate the feedback on how he's comparing it with the other options available!

I initially said 2 months - but after watching this guy:

Its way longer than that - the other thing is to think about the economic ripple effect - short, mid and long term.

Also its important to note that the evergreen is now out of commission for at least a year.

It will likely go to another closer port, all cargo offloaded to other ships, then it will go into dry-dock for in depth inspection for fatigue and micro-cracks in the hull and infra...
