Eventually you may play beta, but the ALPHA which starts in 6 days is off limit.

Since Odyssey hasn't been released yet, you might be able to refund the standard DLC before buying the deluxe one.

Well, today I am thankful for not being the person who's responsible for wedging a 220000 ton containership into the goddamn Suez canal

There are a number of news stories saying it was moved to the side but based on live maps, satellite feeds, and the administration of the suez, this appears to be false. This matches up with earlier foreign reporting saying the ship was wedged due to a blackout. Updates from the scene suggest the lead ship ran aground due to an unknown cause, the ship behind managed to stop but was nearly hit by the ship behind it when the third vessel suffered a blackout condition and lost power. As far as I know, this has never happened in the history of the suez canal. The last time it was blocked at all, a war broke out shortly after. Fun times.

Perhaps if a bunch of airbags were placed down low in the hull & filled, the ship might rise enough to be floated & moved along?

Oh, a huge problem with that... too many airbags in the centers of gov't... double-shux, as they seem to have no shortage of hot air...

It costs almost 10 billion dollars a day to have the canal blocked. They have plenty of motivation to fix the situation lol
