VOICED : Buque portacontenedores zarpa del Canal de Suez luego de 100 días inmovilizado

The Ever Given container ship was released from the Suez Canal after being stuck for 100 days. The blockage, which lasted six days in March, was resolved following a compensation agreement between the ship's Japanese owner and Egyptian authorities. Egypt initially demanded $916 million but settled for $550 million and a tugboat. The incident caused significant financial losses and damage to the canal, which handles 10% of global maritime trade. Egypt plans to invest in expanding and deepening the canal to prevent future blockages.
