Ever Given cargo ship freed from Suez Canal
The Suez Canal Authority (SCA), has announced today, Monday 29th March, 2021, that the Panamanian container ship, Ever Given, has been successfully refloated.
Tow manoeuvres led to the restoration of 80% of the vessel’s direction; with the stern 102 metres away from the bank of the Canal now instead of four metres prior to the refloating.
10% of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, and commodities that have been stuck or delayed due to the block, have impacted worldwide supply chains.
