As far as I know only both German and the Marit (a Norwegian vessel) are ready to go with their own engines. All the other ships, I think they have to be towed out, but there is no doubt they can leave with the tugs." WEAVER: "But if a tanker with a draft of about twenty-five feet already has been through, this would indicate that any other ships here could leave, either under its own steam or under tow." LEDER: "Yes, that's our impression of the things ... but the officials, the authorities, say that the navigation light of the canal are not yet in good order and condition."
