@hideki 2021 Suez Canal obstruction
On 23 March 2021, Ever Given, a Golden-class container ship, ran aground in the Suez Canal in Egypt. The 400-metre-long (1,300 ft) vessel had been buffeted by a sandstorm and strong winds of up to 74 kilometres per hour (40 knots; 46 miles per hour), knocking her off course. The ship ran aground on one of the canal’s banks and became stuck, completely obstructing the canal and preventing any vessels from passing through.By the day after the grounding, at least 15 other vessels were being held at anchorages and at least 237 ships were queueing to pass through the canal while the situation is being resolved. As of 26 March 2021, the vessel was still stuck in the canal. The obstruction is well south of the section of the canal that has two channels, so there is no way for other ships to bypass Ever Given.
