Aladdin's Cave of Goods Stranded in Suez Logjam

NICOSIA, CYPRUS - An Aladdin's cave of goods, from IKEA furnishings to tens of thousands of livestock, is stuck in a maritime traffic jam caused by the Suez Canal blockage.  

More than 360 vessels have been stranded in the Mediterranean to the north and in the Red Sea to the south as well as in holding zones since giant container ship MV Ever Given was wedged diagonally Tuesday across the Suez, a lifeline for world trade. Industry experts have estimated the total value of goods marooned at sea at between $3 billion and $9.6 billion.
