The Ever Given Container Ship that blocked the Suez Canal in March, had left Egyptian waters at 4 am local time following inspections at Port, said a canal source today. Ship tracker “Marine Traffic” showed the Ever Given to be underway in the Mediterranean Sea north of the Egyptian coast.
The container ship, one of the world’s largest, resumes its voyage to Rotterdam 112 days after becoming wedged across a southern section of the Egyptian waterway for nearly a week and disrupting global trade.
The ship was released on 7th July after protracted negotiations and an undisclosed settlement was reached between the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) and the Ever Given’s owners and insurers.
