Ever Given Sued! What's Going on With Shipping? September 25, 2022 In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - maritime historian at Campbell University and former merchant mariner - discusses the recent law suit brought against the owner of Ever Given, Shoei Kisen Kaisha and the UK P&I Club for the spoilage of food on board the ship while it was grounded and subsequently detained in the Suez Canal.
