On Tuesday, a 200,000 tonne ship got stuck in Egypt’s Suez Canal. It became lodged sideways and thus blocks the path of other vessels in both directions. At the moment, experts on site cannot give information yet when the canal will be cleared again and traffic can restart. For a further overview, please refer to the following link (external source).
