Stuck In Suez

[DonaldJTrump]

Lots of chatter around about insurance claims to cover the cost of re-routing shipping via Cape or sitting idle which got me pondering.
If I am stuck for hours in a 10 mile tailback on the M25 because some numpty causes a RTA, why can I not lodge a claim for the time wasted?

The vehicles involved in the RTA insurers

Egyptians used water cannons during the Yom Kippur War to breach the earthen ramparts of the Bar Lev Line along the Suez in '73
Wonder if they have any of those still knocking around for re-purposing

It amazes me that in this day and age the steering of ships that large is not totally computer-controlled, with millisecond timing to maintain course or reverse engines and stop ASAP if a course cannot be maintained, especially in confined spaces like the Suez canal.
