Boats and trucks are lined up in the lakes and ports near the Suez Canal.
The Suez Canal Administration is trying to divert the bow part of the Evergiven, embedded in a sand embankment, and use a tugboat to turn the ship.
However, it is not easy to move a 400m long and 220,000 ton ship loaded with 20,000 containers.
The Dutch salvage team said, "There is a possibility that the accident may take several weeks to process."

If a ship blocks the canal like this time, the flow of world trade is blocked.]
Japan's Shoei Kisen, the owner of the accident ship, apologized for asking everyone for forgiveness.
It is known that if the ship is delayed by one day, the shipowner loses about $60,000, or about 70 million won.
As the Suez Canal is blocked, the world's leading shipping companies are considering using a detour route to the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.
It is estimated that if you pass through the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the route will increase by 9,650 km, and a large tanker will transport crude oil from the Middle East to Europe.
