MV Ever Given轮疑似遭突然的强风吹袭,导致船体偏离并意外撞到运河底部并搁浅。经过八艘拖船的努力以及挖土机楔入运河边清除沙子的方式,该轮已经成功浮起。
全球每天约有3成集装箱船通过这条运河,运送包括燃料到消费品的所有物品。执行亚洲和欧洲之间的航线,非洲好望角这条主要替代路线要多花一周的时间才能完成航行。

Suez Canal Blocked Due to Huge Container Ship Hit Right Bank of Canal
MV Ever Given was suspected of being hit by a sudden strong wind, causing the hull to deviate and accidentally hit the bottom and run aground. Eight tug boats are working to refloat the ship, and diggers on the ground have been removing sand from where it is wedged into the side of the canal bank.
About 30 percent of global container shipping volumes pass through the canal each day, carrying everything from fuel to consumer goods. The main alternative route for ships travelling between Asia and Europe, around the African cape, takes a week longer to navigate.
