After efforts stretching over many days, the Ever Given container ship in the Suez Canal has finally been refloated.
Full text:
Trade is flowing through the Suez Сanal again. Engineers have finally managed to free the huge container ship blocking the vital waterway.
Tugboats pulled the vessel off of a sand bank allowing it to re-float.
It halted traffic in both directions for nearly a week. 10 percent of global trade passes through the Canal in Egypt every day.
Just look at it go. After bringing one of the world's most important waterways to a standstill, the 400 meter long ship is moving along
at 1.5 knots. The salvage team did an excellent job. You know, we were in a real critical situation, when it was touching on both banks and there was real risk of cracking in the center of the ship. But the game entirely changed once they got that stern free and were able to pivot it back parallel to the Canal. "
