Lieutenant-General Osama Rabie, Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, announced that the Panamanian container ship Ever Given had successfully floated after the ship responded to the tension and towing maneuvers, whereby the ship’s course was significantly modified by 80% and the stern of the ship moved away from the shore by a distance of 102 meters instead of 4 meters. According to local media.
The maneuvers are scheduled to resume again, with the water level rising to its maximum height from 11:30 a.m. to 2 meters, allowing the ship’s course to be completely modified to the middle of the shipping course.
