The leadership of the Suez Canal arrived at the grounded ship, Izvestia TV channel reports. The delegation led by General Ossama Rabey examined the Ever Given ship from the deck of an Egyptian Navy ship.
In the meantime, amid yet another unsuccessful attempt to push the container ship off the shallows, the ships began to turn around Africa. Earlier it became known that the traffic jam in the Suez Canal will be removed at least until March 31, and possibly much longer.
To get a container ship off the ground, a lot of sand needs to be removed. Every minute the super-heavy Ever Given sinks more and more into the ground and becomes more difficult to displace it.
The blocking of the Suez Canal costs trade $ 10 billion a day. More than 240 ships have stopped at both ends of the canal. The cost of shipping has skyrocketed due to an emergency in the Suez Canal. The industry predicts that the incident will severely impact delivery times. Oil prices jumped 5% after the blocking of the Suez Canal.
The Izvestia TV channel is available in the packages of cable operators, in Moscow it is located on the 26th button. The channel is also broadcast live on the iz.ru website.
