Suez canal: Ship moving after almost week-long blockage
By EUobserver
The huge container ship, MV Ever Given, has reportedly been refloated from the banks of the Suez canal, raising hopes that the vital waterway will soon reopen and that global shipping backlogs will be cleared, The Guardian reports. At least 369 vessels are waiting to transit the canal, including dozens of container ships, bulk carriers, oil tankers, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vessels.
