See Latest High-Resolution Satellite Pics Of Ship Stuck At Suez Canal

The 400-metre long Ever Given became jammed diagonally across a southern section of the Suez Canal over five days ago

Maxar's WorldView-3 satellite collected new imagery this morning at 10:51 am local time of the Ever Given container ship in the Suez Canal. The ship has beached for days, affecting shipping and maritime trade. These photos show the current status of the ship and the continuing efforts to excavate sand around the bow of the ship. Suez Canal salvage teams were alternating between dredging and tugging on Sunday to dislodge the massive container ship blocking the busy waterway, while two sources said efforts had been complicated by rock under the ship's bow, news agency Reuters reported. Dredgers working to dislodge the stranded vessel have so far shifted 27,000 cubic metres of sand, to a depth of 18 metres, and efforts would continue around the clock according to wind conditions and tides, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said in a statement.
