Traffic in Suez Canal resumes after stranded ship refloated

ISMAILIA, Egypt (Reuters) - Shipping was on the move again late on Monday in Egypt’s Suez Canal after a giant container ship which had been blocking the busy waterway for almost a week was refloated, with more than 400 ships waiting to pass through.

A marine source told Reuters that vessels were travelling southwards towards the Red Sea after the 400-metre (430-yard) long vessel Ever Given was freed undamaged earlier on Monday.

Egypt’s Leth Agencies said 43 vessels had resumed transit from the Great Bitter Lake, which separates two sections of the canal.

“The ship came out intact and it has no problems. We’ve just searched the bottom and soil of the Suez Canal and thankfully it is sound and has no issues, and ships will pass through it today,” the Suez Canal Authority’s (SCA) chairman Osama Rabie earlier told Nile TV.
