Suez Canal Blocked by Massive Ship; Costs $9 Billion Everyday.

One of the busiest waterways in the world, the Suez Canal, was blocked on Tuesday morning, 22 March, when a 400-metre long, 224,000-tonne ship, named ‘Ever Given’ lodged sideways after a gust of wind blew it off course, as per a statement by the Suez Canal Authority (SCA).

SMIT Salvage, a Dutch firm responsible for saving ships during storms has taken the task to dislodge the ship.

As the back log of ships continue to build up for a third day, an elite salvage team is expected to arrive on Thursday, 25 March. According to Nick Sloane, the salvage master is responsible for refloating the Costa Concordia in 2012, the best chance for freeing the ship may not come until Sunday or Monday, when the tide will reach a peak.

Ever Given Blocks The ships

The Suez Canal serves as a crucial waterway for international trade, with vessels carrying everything, from crude oil to consumer goods.
