EGYPT-TRANSPORT-SUEZ-CANAL

Egyptian army soldiers stand on guard near the grounded Panama-flagged container ship MV 'Ever Given' (operated by Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine), the 400-metre- (1,300-foot-)long and 59-metre wide vessel lodged sideways impeding traffic across Egypt's Suez Canal waterway, on March 29, 2021. - Egypt's Suez Canal Authority said on March 29 the Ever Given container ship, which has been blocking the crucial waterway for nearly a week, has been "reorientated 80 percent in the right direction". Once it is refloated, it will take three and a half days to clear a traffic jam of hundreds of vessels, authorities said. Over 300 ships are currently waiting to travel through the canal.
