Giant ship stuck in Suez Canal, causing global shipping crisis

A massive container ship, the Ever Given, blocked Egypt's Suez Canal after running aground, causing a significant traffic jam. Tugboats and a digger were deployed to free the ship, but concerns arose that it might remain stuck for days. The incident occurred near the port of Suez on March 23rd, with the ship lodged sideways, blocking numerous vessels. The ship's owner suspects strong winds caused the grounding. Such incidents are rare but could severely impact global trade. If the ship cannot be freed during high tide, removing cargo might be necessary, a challenging task in the desert.
