Ever Given Afloat After Blocking Suez Canal
The Ever Given was afloat as of 09H00 EDT on Monday 29th after blocking the Suez Canal for almost seven days. Dutch salvage experts led the operation that required removal of vast quantities of sand at the bow and stern to free the vessel. The stern was freed on Sunday afternoon local time and tugs were able to pull the imbedded bow from the West bank of the canal on the rising spring tide. (see article below in this edition)
