Fresh bid to dislodge stranded Suez Canal container ship gets under way
CNN
Efforts to dislodge the huge container ship stuck in the Suez Canal intensified Saturday as the backlog of ships at either end of the crucial waterway grew, heightening concerns over the impact of the blockage on global supply chains.
The Ever Given, a container ship almost as long as the Empire State Building is tall, ran aground in the Egyptian canal on Tuesday after being caught in 40-knot winds and a sandstorm. Since then, dredgers have been working to remove vast quantities of sand and mud from around the port side of the vessel's bow.More Related News
