Ever Given Bids Adieu to Egyptian Waters
After being stuck in the Suez Canal for over three months, the containership Ever Given finally left Egyptian waters today at 4 a.m. (local time) following inspections at Port Said, Reuters reported citing a canal source.
World Maritime News online reports the 20,000 TEU containership has resumed its voyage to Rotterdam after receiving the official approval to depart the canal from the Suez Canal Authority (SCA).
The giant containership reportedly underwent a safety inspection at the Port of Said, situated at the northern end of the Suez Canal, before heading towards its next destination.
Reuters also revealed earlier that Ever Given would be escorted by two tugboats and guided by two experienced pilots, citing canal sources.
According to Marine Traffic data, the ship is currently located in the Mediterranean Sea north of the Egyptian coast
