The cargo ship “Ever Given” blocked one of the world’s most important waterways for six days in March. Now, after long negotiations, an agreement has been reached with the canal authority.
There is an agreement in the dispute over the days-long blockade of the Suez Canal by the freighter “Ever Given”. The container ship should be released this Wednesday, said a spokesman for the Japanese ship owner Shoei Kisen Kaisha on Monday on request.
He did not give details of the agreement with the Egyptian canal authority. The British law firm Stann Marine recently announced that after weeks of extensive negotiations there had been a “fundamental agreement”. She represents the owners and insurers of “Ever Given”.
The “Ever Given” is one of the largest container ships in the world and ran aground in the Suez Canal in March. The 400 meter long freighter blocked the important waterway between Asia and Europe for six days. It sails under the Panamanian flag and was chartered by a Taiwan-based company prior to the accident. The canal authorities confiscated the ship, which is moored on the Great Bitter Lake, which separates the northern from the southern part of the Suez Canal.
