The colossal Ever Given, measuring over 400 meters in length and 59 meters in width, navigates the narrow Panama Canal by employing a complex system of tugboats and specialized equipment. As the vessel enters the canal, it is guided by four powerful tugboats, two at each end, providing precise control and maneuverability. Additionally, the canal's use of locomotive "mules" that run along tracks on the canal's banks helps guide and stabilize the enormous ship throughout its passage. These mules, powered by electric engines, apply force to the hull of the Ever Given, ensuring its safe and controlled movement through the narrow confines of the canal's locks.
