According to a comprehensive report on March 25, the Egyptian Suez Canal Authority issued a statement on March 24, local time, stating that a heavy cargo ship flying the Panamanian flag ran aground on the new channel of the Suez Canal on the 23rd, causing channel congestion.
Due to the huge size of the stranded cargo ship, rescue work may take time.
Some Norwegian experts said that the shallow operation "may take a few days."
Osama Rabbi, head of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), said on the evening of the 24th that efforts are still being made to redirect the stranded giant container ship.
Since it ran aground on the 23rd, the cargo ship has caused congestion in the new channel of the Suez Canal.
The rabbi revealed that due to the huge size of the ship (about 400 meters in length and 59 meters in width), it has been spent a long time trying to make it float.
The picture shows the cargo ship stranded on the new channel of the Suez Canal on March 24, local time.
