Grain ship from Ukraine runs aground in the Suez Canal

Suez Canal
  • A container ship from Ukraine carrying more than 65,000 tonnes of corn has been refloated.
  • M/V Glory experienced a technical issue 24 miles (38 km) into its southerly voyage via the Egyptian waterway.
  • The obstruction caused ships to back up and momentarily halted international trade in several items.

A container ship from Ukraine carrying more than 65,000 tonnes of corn has been refloated after being stranded in the Suez Canal.

According to the Suez Canal Authority, the M/V Glory experienced a technical issue 24 miles (38 km) into its southerly voyage via the Egyptian waterway, close to the city of Qantara (SCA).

Regular canal traffic was anticipated to resume at 11 a.m. local time after tugboats transported the broken-down vessel to a repair area, where it was anticipated to only cause minor delays.

According to the Joint Coordination Centre, which is in charge of managing the grain exports, the ship departed Chornomorsk port in southwest Ukraine on Christmas Day with 65,970 metric tonnes of corn bound for China.

According to the center, an inspection on January 3 in Istanbul resulted in a clearance for the ship to continue its voyage.

The Suez Canal, which offers the quickest connection between Europe and Asia, was closed in March 2021 for six days when another ship, the Ever Given, became jammed horizontally in strong winds.

The obstruction caused ships to back up and momentarily halted international trade in several items.
