75/decade == 1 every 7 weeks

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

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