  • 24 March 2021, Egypt, Suez: A ship sails along the waterway of the Suez Canal after the resumption of the navigation traffic following the partial refloating of the “Ever Given”, a container ship operated by the Evergreen Marine Corporation. The state-run Suez Canal Authority (SCA) reported that eight tugboats are trying to shift the Panamanian supertanker after it ran aground 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.
