Yep, they are still there, from what I can see.
The Port of Moscow.
The River Station.
The South River Terminal.

Sounds like the ship was dislodged 2 days ago, on the 29th.
Stuck for 7 days.

Has anybody heard of the delivery delay of computer chips?
Apparently there is a 60 week delay for delivery of chips, needed for new routers, and for Ford vehicles, and iPads.
There is long delay for silicon wafers, which are needed to make the chips.
Chip factories cost about $10 Billion to built, and take 2 years. 4 are known to be building now, but those results are 2 years away. At least 2 of those plants are being built in Arizona.
So now, at least one container on the Evergiven was full of Routers. And Egypt has claimed the container as salvage, after dislodging the ship. So unknown amount of delay for that.
Some kind of memory chip, sounds like "dacks" had a factory fire in October in China. And another auto chip plant had a fire last year in Tokyo.
Apparently all this causes great delays in Wireless communications, 5G, etc.

Not sure but the Laws at Sea are still a little Pirate-ish, plus perhaps they owe Egypt and the Suez authority a lot of money...by Sea Law...I think which ever group rescued the ship can also claim cargo as 'booty'

I should probably start a new thread on this IC Chip shortage, it seems like it will last awhile.

Samsung's Austin fab was offline for more than a month after it was shut down due to power outages during the freeze.
About 71,000 wafers were affected by production disruptions, said Han Jinman, executive vice-president of Samsung’s memory chip business. He estimated the wafer loss is equivalent to $268 million to $357 million.
Semiconductor fabs are typically operational 24 hours a day for years on end. Each batch of wafers — a thin slice of semiconductor used for the fabrication of integrated circuits — can take 45 to 60 days to make, so a shutdown of any length can mean a loss of weeks of work. Restoring a fab is also a complicated process, and even in the best of circumstances can take a week.
The Samsung fab was one of a number of Austin's largest industrial power users that was ordered by the city to idle or shut down operations the week of Feb.15, as millions of Texas homes and businesses lost electricity and the state's power grid came close to a total shutdown.
NXP Semiconductors was also among the facilities that were shut down in February, as its two Austin fabrication facilities were offline for nearly a month. In March, the company estimated the shutdown would result in a $100 million loss in revenue and a month of wafer production.
The product loss and fab shutdown also came as Samsung considers Austin for a significant expansion.
In early February, officials confirmed the region is one of several locations being considered for a more than $17 billion state-of-the-art chip plant. The company is also considering locations including New York and Arizona.
It remains to be seen if the freeze could have an effect on Austin's chances of winning the facility. Company officials declined to comment on whether Central Texas is still under consideration, or when the company might make a decision.
