Suez Canal: stranded ship free from shore (TKB-World)

According to officials, the container ship stranded in the Suez Canal has been removed from the shore for one week.

According to the Suez Canal Authority, the direction of the 400 meter long ‘Ever Given’ ship has been corrected by 80%.

Accordingly, the work of removing the boat will be resumed from Monday.

The ‘Ever Given’ disrupted one of the world’s busiest trade routes, causing the rest of the ship to return and lead to long traffic.

After this success in free the stranded ship, hope is raised that the jam on the canal may open in a few hours. Nearly $ 9.6 billion worth of goods comes out of this waterway every day.

According to the news agency Reuters, tugboats have been used to remove the ship.

According to the Suez Canal Authority, the ship’s rear, which was previously four meters from the coast, is now 102 meters. Authority said that now efforts have been started to make the ship in full floating condition.

According to officials, the work of removing the ship will be started at 11:30 pm local time after the waves arise.

When the ship is free, 367 ships waiting there will find their way. Suez Canal Authority (SCA) chairman Osama Rabi told Egyptian Extra News on Sunday that they include several cargo ships, oil tankers and ships carrying ANG or LPG gas.

The 400-meter-long Ever Given ship was stuck diagonally in the Suez Canal amid strong winds on Tuesday. Because of this, there was a situation of traffic jams on this shortest ship route between Europe and Asia.

After failing to evacuate the ship for several days, the Canal Administration on Sunday began preparations to remove about 20,000 containers from the ship to reduce weight.
