Still stuck. 6 tugs are on it and a pleasure craft, possibly used to direct operations or some idiot taking pictures.

>and a pleasure craft

I see that labeling too, but the Tahia Misr2 is a tug, sister to the Tahia Misr1.

I'm not sure why it's displaying as a pleasure craft.

Maybe it is enjoying itself?

I don't want to know, do I?

Edit: The phrase "pleasure craft" is a triple entendre, and possibly a quadruple.

You fill in the AIS data fields yourself, my experience is that it is not uncomon to see the ”less important” AIS data Fields beeing wrong.

Ah thanks. I bet it's a data sanitization or registration foul-up. It's Egypt, after all, where things don't always work honestly or consistently.

There will be a ton of pictures to document, and later investigate, that incident.

Is the Suez Canal Authority of Egypt or maritime authorities in-charge professional enough to do this?

There are professionals, I don't know how it works at suez but we have people called "Havarie Kommisar", they are the guys brought in by insurances to document and certify accidents involving transportation.
