Suez Canal: Ever Given container ship mostly freed

The MS Ever Given, the container ship that blocked the Suez Canal for almost a week, has been successfully refloated on Monday, authorities confirm.

"The container ship began to float successfully after responding to the pulling maneuvers," said Osama Rabie, head of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA). "Once the ship is withdrawn, we will resume navigation directly, and we will take it to the Bitter Lakes."
