A 400-metre long cargo ship remains wedged diagonally inside the crucial Suez Canal in Egypt after becoming stuck on Tuesday.
Suez Canal salvage teams report it could take weeks to dislodge the skyscraper-sized “Evergreen” ship, while the cause of the grounding is still not totally clear.
The Suez Canal, which connects the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, is one of the world’s busiest waterways. Service provider Leth Agencies says 156 vessels are waiting in the vicinity of the canal.
