The Ever Given is causing ever-growing chaos in the Suez Canal. It is now going on four days since the massive container ship became stuck, cutting off one of the most important shipping routes in the world.
Friday’s maritime traffic on the Suez Canal has now grown to over 200 backlogged ships — 30 of which are oil tankers — ever since the major shipping passage was first blocked by a container vessel that ran aground earlier this week.
