Experts have boarded the container ship Ever Given, which was dislodged on Monday six days after it got stuck in the Suez Canal, seeking to investigate what caused the grounding that shook the global shipping industry. The Ever Given was safely anchored on Tuesday in the Great Bitter Lake, a wide stretch of water halfway between the north and south ends of the canal, after salvage teams finally freed the giant vessel on Monday afternoon. The grounding had halted billions of dollars a day in maritime commerce. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ […]
Shipping traffic through Egypt’s Suez Canal has once again resumed, with the Ever Given ship now unstuck. On Monday, tug boats towed the giant container ship to the centre of the canal where it had been jammed for nearly a week. About 15 percent of world shipping traffic passes through the Suez Canal and the blockage had disrupted global supply chains.

The Ever Given has been “successfully refloated” on the Suez Canal, according to Inchcape Shipping Services, a week after it ran aground in high winds blocking one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. “She is being secured at the moment. More information about next steps will follow once they are known,” the company said on Twitter.
