Egypt refloats grain ship from Ukraine

A cargo ship that became stranded in the Suez Canal has been raised to the surface by Egyptian authorities.

Leth Agencies, a shipping company, had earlier reported that the MV Glory had grounded close to the northeastern city of El-Qantarah.

Later, it announced that 21 vessels would resume transiting the Suez Canal with only minor delays after being refloated by tugboats from the authority.

The vessel was listed as carrying over 65,000 metric tonnes of grain from Ukraine bound for China, the Associated Press agency reports.

In 2021 a giant container ship, the Ever Given, blocked the canal, disrupting global trade.

The Suez Canal is a vital waterway that connects the Mediterranean with the Red Sea, providing an avenue for vessels to pass between Asia and the Middle East and Europe.
