You forgot to convert from tons. They'd need 18.4 billion balloons, not a measly 8.3 million.
Balloons are horrible for the environment. Can we just fill the ship with helium and save on plastic?
Actually, no. Buoyancy needs lower density (higher volume). Filling the fixed volume of the ship with any amount of helium won't make it float. However, if you want to save on plastic, I would entertain building a gargantuan Zeppelin large enough to carry a cargoship underneath it.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

Can I just say that I find all of this event to be really, really funny
Fuck capitalism & everything but by accident making a show of what disrupting one of three major chokepoints in global trade can do is going to give more validity to ideas that people have likely already had.

I’m sad it’s an Evergreen ship that’s stuck. Always liked them.
Should’ve been a Hapag-Lloyd. Or even worse, Maersk.
That's funny, I saw there was a Maersk ship in the canal right behind the Ever Given when I was looking at that ship tracking site earlier. It's back in the Red Sea now it looks like.

We're internet people, we spend all day typing stuff into search bars. We have a thread full of friends talking about a thing right here.
Edit: Dang, sorry, that came out sounding glib and dismissive, I get where you're coming from. What I meant is that some of my favorite conversations around here started with someone asking what sounds like an obvious question and sparking someone else to share a rad fact or tell an interesting story.

Something I've learned from being an instructor is that if someone speaks up with a question you can be damn sure that there are others with the same question who just didn't speak up. Why should those folks all have to search up that info when you can talk about it in a common location?

South China sea has a ton of trade and is a major smuggling route [the main route for Opium and assorted products} So when we were doing VBSS stuff it was 3 out of 10 boats we caught was the best but still far more trade goes on in that area than goes though the canals

I wonder how much fuel diverting around South Africa will cost, and how much it will add to climate change...

Also I told my dad I thought this was funny as hell and he was like "I don't see the humor" and I was like "get on the nihilism level of every human born after 1980 then"

Y’all joke, but marine salvage balloons exist:

That's why you use more of them.

it's like, technically speaking really bad
but also a boat got stuck and is destroying the world economy after they drew a dick
yes
Has anyone fucked on the boat yet?
not if it really was electrical failure
also, I wanna know what the white helmets were doing during all this
It honestly did not occur to me that it would be necessary for people to go around the freakin' cape instead of getting this boat unstuck
