"Helped by the peak of high tide, the flotilla of tugboats managed to wrench the bow of the stranded Ever Given from the canal’s sandy bank, where it had been firmly lodged since last Tuesday." - https://www.vesselfinder.com/news/20501-Ever-Given-is-Finall...


Isn't it the Evergreen?

Edit: Thank you for all the corrections, will leave this up for anyone else that's curious.


Evergreen is a huge Taiwanese shipping company, Ever Given is the name of this particular ship.

There are probably several dozen ships around the world with the words "Evergreen" on its side.


I spent the first half hour learning about all this being really confused when I kept seeing Evergreen written on the side of the ship (and not the much smaller Ever Given near the bow.)


A small addition: Here is the link to the wikipedia article that also tells you about their hotel and airline business.

(Cue jokes about earth (they have trucks) and water blockages soon to be followed by air. I haven't seen a good fire theory yet.)


Evergreen is the shipping company, ever given is the name of the ship


Evergreen is the name of the company, all of their ships have an Ever prefix. This one is called the Ever Given


Evergreen is the company, Ever given is the boat.
