Evergreen container ship blocks Suez Canal traffic

Time:2021-03-24 Publisher:Kevin Num:8618

The news of a ship "rollover" in the Suez canal may raise doubts. And then you'll see these images. In fact, a container ship was trapped on the side of the Suez Canal, blocking northbound and southbound traffic.

According to reports, the super large container ship ran aground on Tuesday morning while on its way from Yantian, China to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with a capacity of 20000 20ft TEUs. About 18 hours later, the evergreen is still not moving.

 

According to various reports, all available tugs in Egypt are trying to get the tug built in 2018 free of charge. Images widely circulated on twitter, as well as photos taken from a container ship, show that the ship looks like a small excavator compared to the ship, which is loaded with cargo.

 

From the images circulated, it seems that the freighter is stable and there are no reports of damage to the container ship or its cargo. Taiwan based Evergreen Marine Corp. has yet to make a statement.

 

The car was reported to be the fifth in the northbound convoy, but somehow it got stuck in a rollover. It is said that at that time, 15 ships were behind the ships given and could not move forward. Due to the location once given, the southbound traffic was also blocked by super large container ships.
