Fears mount that it could take weeks to dislodge Ever Given, which would squeeze supplies of crude and refined products.
A giant container ship remained stuck sideways on Friday in Egypt’s Suez Canal, as authorities race to free the vessel and reopen traffic in a crucial East-West waterway for global shipping. The Ever Given, a Panama-flagged ship that carries cargo between Asia and Europe, ran aground on Tuesday in the narrow, man-made canal dividing continental Africa from the Sinai Peninsula. The ship, owned by Japanese firm Shoei Kisen KK, has blocked traffic in the canal, leaving dozens of other ships stranded in the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
