Efforts to free ship stuck in Suez Canal continue

(UTV | EGYPT) – A container ship remains stuck across Egypt’s Suez Canal after attempts to dislodge it on Saturday’s (27) high tide failed.

Canal Officials said however that some progress had been made, and that they hoped the ship could be afloat again by Sunday evening (28).

The Evergreen has been wedged in the canal – one of the world’s busiest trade routes – since Tuesday (23).

More than 300 ships are stuck on either side of the blockage.

Some vessels have had to reroute around Africa.
