Headline: Suez Canal Traffic Blocked By Massive Ship In Egypt

Caption: 24 March 2021, Egypt, Suez: An excavator attempts to free the front end of container ship Ever Given, operated by Evergreen Marine, after it ran aground in the southern end of the Suez Canal, blocking navigation traffic in both directions. The ship turned sideways in the Canal while on route from China to Rotterdam. The Suez Canal Authority reported that the incident took place due to reduced visibility that resulted from the dust storm currently hitting the area.
