A bulk carrier briefly became stuck in the northern section of the Suez Canal on Thursday but was refloated. However, there was no impact on traffic according to Suez Canal Authority.

On 28th August 2021, world's largest containership known as "Ever Ace" successfully crossed the Suez Canal for the first time.

The giant container ship Ever Given is en route once again through the Suez Canal, about five months after it ran aground in March shaking global shipping trade flow for almost a week. 

Head of the Suez Canal Authority Osama Rabie told Egypt Today news agency that approximately 1670 vessels have passed the Suez Canal in July 2021.

The owner of the Ever Given that got stuck in the Suez Canal for a week, is expected to receive several legal claims.

The Ever Given arrived at Port Said, where it anchored at the port’s outer limits. The ship will undergo inspections at the port. 

Seafarers’ unions recently welcomed the release of the MV Ever Given which was under detention in the Suez Canal by Egyptian authorities.

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has welcomed the settlement reached between the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) and Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd., owner of the Ever Given, which resulted in the ship's release on Wednesday, after 106 days of being stranded. 

After 106 days stuck in Suez Canal, the Ever Given container ship finally started its journey, as the owner and insurers reached a compensation settlement with the canal authority.

The owners and insurers of the Ever Given container ship that blocked the Suez Canal, said that a formal settlement had been agreed in a compensation dispute, while the vessel would be allowed to sail on July 7.
