Cargo ship sacks due to strong winds and sandstorm: Meteorological Department

DUBAI: All ship traffic has been stranded in Egypt's Suez Canal as the world's largest cargo ship sank. This has led to fears that the global shipping system, which is barely recovering from the effects of the Corona virus, will be disrupted again.

The Panamanian container ship MV Ever Given handles the transportation of goods between Asia and Europe. It sank in the narrow Suez Canal on Tuesday. The Suez Canal separates Africa and Asia-Europe. The cause of the ship sinking to one side inside the canal could not be ascertained.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Global shipping and logistics company GAC has been hit by a routine blackout over the transportation of goods to the north due to the Ever Given incident.

Evergreen Marine Corp., a leading Taiwanese-based company operating the ship, said it encountered strong winds as it entered the Evergone Suez Canal via the Red Sea route.

An Egyptian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said strong winds were blowing in the area. Egyptian meteorologists said strong winds and sandstorms were blowing in the area on Tuesday and wind speeds were up to 50 kilometers per hour.

Bernhard Schulz Ship Management, which operates Ever Given, said all employees are safe. There were no reports of injuries or contamination in the canal. The management company has also denied that the ship's internal power supply has been cut off. The east wall of the canal touched the side of Ever Given, while the other side touched the west wall, according to Marine Traffic.com satellite data.

There are some tuckboats around the ship and it is likely to be trying to push it in the right direction, the data show. An image posted by a user on Instagram shows another cargo ship waiting. From the satellite data, it seems that Ever Given has become horizontal inside the canal. An Egyptian official said the tug boat was trying to re-float the ship.
