Al-Sisi orders preparation for the scenario of easing the loads of the delinquent ship in the Suez Canal

The head of the Suez Canal Authority, Osama Rabie, announced today, Sunday, that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has ordered preparations for the scenario of reducing the loads of the delinquent ship in the canal.

The container vessel “Ever Giffen” has been blocking the canal since Tuesday.

Rescue teams had hoped to float it using locomotives and dredging works, without reducing their load.

Rabei had announced that the captain of the delinquent ship in the Suez Canal, “Evergreen”, is the first and last person responsible for the crisis, as he is the captain of the ship.
