Fox News
A cargo ship broke down Wednesday in Egypt's Suez Canal, crashing into a bridge in an incident that authorities note did not impede maritime traffic.
The incident happened in a newly expanded section of the waterway, where there are two separate shipping lanes, Rabei said in a statement. Following the incident, all ships began using the second, original shipping lane.
Later Wednesday, the government body said the vessel’s rudder was fixed and that One Orpheus had resumed its journey north, en route from Singapore to the Netherlands. The extent of the damage to the bridge remained unclear.
