A 1,300-foot-long container ship is stuck in the Suez Canal in Egypt after it ran aground on Tuesday March 23. Satellite images from Thursday show the ship blocking the width of the canal, causing a backup of other supply ships in both directions.

    1. I'm no expert but with today's technology and heavy equipment, why can't that be moved out of the way? How long are they going to let it sit there and block the other cargo from going through? I don't know but I smell something fishy going on here. 🐟🚢😢

    2. Israel and UAE has a proposal to build their own canal going from the Red sea up the Jordon River to the dead sea crossing over to Ashdod and the Mediterranean Sea. The canal would be larger to accommodate the mega ships. And be cheaper than running through the Suez. With this container ship blocking the canal, this may happen.
