Suez Canal Briefly Blocked by a Cargo Ship

On Thursday, a Hong Kong cargo ship was briefly stuck for an hour and 16 minutes in the Suez Canal, The Guardian reports.

The 190-meter cargo ship was identified as Xin Hai Tong 23 and was freed by tugboats from the Suez Canal authority.

In 2021, the 400-meter cargo ship Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal for six days, disrupting global trade and supply chains.
