A cargo ship remains stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking up to 10% of the world’s trade.
The 224,000-ton heavy Ever Given ran aground on Tuesday after being blown off course by a sandstorm, and ended up wedged diagonally across the canal, completely blocking it to traffic.
Efforts to refloat the ship have been unsuccessful so far. There are no fewer than 150 cargo ships waiting to pass through the strategic waterway, with experts saying that it could be ‘weeks’ before the Ever Given is able to move again.
