HANDOUT - 26 March 2021, Egypt, Suez: A satellite image provided by the European Space Imaging on 26 March 2021 shows the 'Ever given', a container ship operated by the Evergreen Marine Corporation, is currently stuck in the Suez Canal. The state-run Suez Canal Authority (SCA) announced that nearly 17,000 cubic meters of sand have been dredged around the ship after navigation through the Suez Canal has been temporarily suspended until the full refloating of the Panamanian massive cargo vessel which ran aground on Tuesday in the southern end of the Suez Canal and blocked the traffic in both directions. The ship turned sideways in the Canal, while on the route from China to Rotterdam, due to reduced visibility that resulted from a dust storm hitting the area, according to SCA.
