Suez Ship Freed: What Comes Next?

The Ever Given ship, which blocked the Suez Canal, has been freed. Efforts are underway to move it to Bitter Lake for inspection. The canal is being reopened, with around 350 ships waiting to pass. Clearing the backlog may take 7 to 14 days. The Ever Given will be inspected for damage, and if repairs are needed, its cargo may be transferred to other vessels. This process could impact the wider supply chain.
