Ship stuck in Suez Canal finally freed
Ever Given was refloated on Monday after being stuck on the Egyptian canal's bank for nearly a week, allowing for the resumption of traffic.
The ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal finally broke free on Monday.
The Panamanian-flagged, 220,000-metric-ton container ship Ever Given was “successfully refloated” on Monday, the Suez Canal Authority said in a statement. The authority used “push and tow maneuvers” to reposition the ship away from the canal’s bank. When Ever Given was stuck, it was only 4 meters (13 feet) from the bank, according to the authority.
