The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) is considering to cut the Ever Given claims for compensation to $600 million from $900 million.

An Egyptian court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by the Japanese owner of the Ever Given to release the container ship which blocked the Suez Canal in March. 

The 20,000 TEU-class container ship Ever Given remained stuck in the Suez Canal for almost one week. In a bid to explain the reasons behind that unprecedented blockage, YouTube raged with videos in which individuals shared their perspectives on the incident.

Representatives of the International Transport Workers’ Federation boarded the MV Ever Given in order to check on the health and welfare of the crew.

Two crew members of the container ship Ever Given will be allowed to return to India due to urgent personal reasons, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) confirmed on Thursday. 

The chairman of the Suez Canal Authority has suggested a possible mistake by the captain of the Ever Given could have led to the grounding of the giant container ship in the waterway last month. 

Although the Suez Canal Blockage is resolved and global trade is getting back to normal, Egypt will not release the Ever Given until its owners agree to pay as much as USD 1 billion dollars in compensation, local authorities informed. 

The Suez Canal Authority is considering expanding the southern section of the waterway where the container ship Ever Given became stranded, its chairman told Reuters on Tuesday.

After the re-floating of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal last week, the owners of the ship have declared a General Average.

All ships stranded by the grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal in March have now passed through the canal.
