Headline: Suez Canal Traffic Blocked By Massive Ship In Egypt

Caption: 25 March 2021, Egypt, Suez: Egyptian officials monitor the refloating operation carried out to free the "Ever Given", a container ship operated by the Evergreen Marine Corporation, which is currently stuck in the Suez Canal. The state-run Suez Canal Authority (SCA) announced on Thursday that navigation through the Suez Canal has been temporarily suspended until the full refloating of the Panamanian supertanker which ran aground on Tuesday in the southern end of the Suez Canal and blocked the traffic in both directions. The ship turned sideways in the Canal, while on route from China to Rotterdam, due to reduced visibility that resulted from a dust storm hitting the area, according to SCA.
