Tug boats and diggers are working to refloat a giant container ship that has blo

The owners of the 400m-long (1312ft) vessel say it ran aground sideways after be
ing hit by strong winds.

Egypt says it has reopened the canal's older channel to divert traffic, amid fea
rs it could remain blocked for days.

The incident has already created long tailbacks on the waterway, stopping dozens
 of other vessels from passing.

該事件使大家卡在水道排隊

About 10% of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, which connects the Medi
terranean to the Red Sea and provides the shortest sea link between Asia and Eur
ope.

The Ever Given, registered in Panama, was bound for the port city of Rotterdam i
n the Netherlands from China and was passing northwards through the canal on its
 way to the Mediterranean.

The 200,000 tonne ship, built in 2018 and operated by Taiwanese transport compan
y Evergreen Marine, ran aground and became lodged sideways across the waterway a
t about 07:40 local time (05:40 GMT) on Tuesday.

At 400m long - the length of four football pitches - and 59m-wide, the ship has
blocked the path of other vessels which are now trapped in lines in both directi
ons.

Evergreen Marine said the ship was "suspected of being hit by a sudden strong wi
nd, causing the hull to deviate... and accidentally hit the bottom and run agrou
nd".

The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said it was working to refloat the giant ship, us
ing rescue and tug units, according to AFP news agency. Its chairman, Admiral Os
ama Rabie, also said they had reopened an older section of the canal to ease the
 bottleneck of marine traffic caused by the incident.

Dr Sal Mercogliano, a maritime historian based in the US state of North Carolina
, told the BBC that incidents such as this were rare, but could have "huge ramif
ications for global trade".



"This is the largest vessel ever to go aground in the Suez Canal," he said, addi

ng that the ship got lodged in the embankment and would have lost power and its
ability to steer.

"If they are unable to pull her free... in a high tide, they are going to have t
o start removing cargo."

Julianna Cona, who says she is on board another ship located directly behind the
 Ever Given, wrote on Instagram: "Ship in front of us ran aground while going th
rough the canal and is now stuck sideways looks like we might be here for a litt
le bit..."

Experts warn the operation to move the Ever Given, which could include removing
large amounts of sand from around the areas where the vessel is grounded, may ta
ke days.

The ship has the capacity to carry 20,000 20-ft shipping containers, according t
o Reuters news agency.

Nearly 19,000 ships passed through the canal in 2020, according to the Suez Cana
l Authority - an average of 51.5 ships per day.

現在為全世界最熱門的焦點  上BBC第一熱門 因為會衝擊到歐洲加上影響到全球貿易 埃及
官方表示可能要挖好幾天

恭喜台灣成為第一個封鎖蘇伊士運河的國家

這下全世界都知道是台灣長榮了

現在船長跟長榮現在在想啥啊？

有沒有八卦?
