Was this another close call major issue indicating a new pattern, or was this one of tens of minor incidents that typically happened in Suez and didn't get reported on until Ever Given?

Not that the two are necessarily mutually exclusive but it's likely leaning hard towards one of the two.

Only around ~75 incidents reported this decade [0], so it's fairly uncommon. Definitely getting more attention now because of last time though.

75/decade == 1 every 7 weeks

Sounds pretty common, or as the grandparent said, "tens of minor incidents that...didn't get reported on"

[lindenstark]

when put into perspective that is pretty frequent, ~0.02% chance per ship.

[lavoiems]

Put differently, we had an average of 7.5 incidents per year in the last decade.

ya, I wonder what the risk is of getting stuck long term like earlier this year. According to the wikipedia page it looks like it has only happened a few times in history.

Given that MV Ever Given drew a penis and balls outside the canal[1] before entering, I suspect there is a chance the jam was not an accident.
