26 Mar 2021 / Suez Canal, Egypt
Tugboat teams and heavy machinery are still battling to move the grounded vessel in the Suez Canal.
The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) is using dredgers and more than 8 powerful tugs and are being assisted by other local authorities in the operation. There is still no confirmed progress reported.
Canal transits remain suspended and there is currently no indication of when they will resume.
The Head of the SCA, Lieutenant-General Ossama Rabei, has said that no efforts will be spared to ensure the restoration of navigation and serve the movement of global trade.
All vessels arriving from the south (from the Red Sea) are requested to drop anchor out of port limits, as the Suez area is fully congested.
The next attempt to float the vessel will be on the evening high tide.
GAC is not associated with the grounded vessel. We are sharing Suez Canal Authority information through our daily Hot Port News bulletin as it becomes available, and are not in a position to elaborate or comment further. For further details, we suggest you approach the Suez Canal Authority or the vessel owner directly.
