I was reading a Beeb article about day trippers who went to see it arrive.

I want to know what's on it.

According to the article, so do the people buying the stuff... which I found a little odd, surely there is an exact inventory?

A lot of perishables which have to be destroyed, though presumably not too gross as the containers are climate controlled - are they?

They should pay the crew proper wages as then they may get people who don't make costly mistakes.

Suez Canal: Ever Given container ship finally freed

Bearing in mind all the chinese tat I've ordered on Aliexpress always fails within a week, does that mean it's not even worth opening the stuff I've got on order that's late? Dead on arrival?

[NigelJK]

given that the stern is hard against the other bank, how will that work?

Like this:

The stern of a huge container ship that has been wedged across the Suez Canal for almost a week has been freed from the shoreline, officials say.
