Work continues on refloating a wedged container ship

 


At the high tide of Saturday, attempts to dislodge a giant container ship across Egypt's Suez Canal failed

Waterway authorities said anyway that some advancement had been made, and that they trusted the boat could be above water again by Sunday evening. The Consistently Given has been wedged in the trench - one of the world's busiest shipping lanes - since Tuesday. In excess of 300 boats are stuck on one or the other side of the blockage. A few vessels have needed to reroute around Africa. On Saturday around 20,000 tons of sand was dug, and 14 towing boats pulled and pushed the Consistently Provided to attempt to oust it. Albeit solid tides and winds muddled endeavors to free the boat, the towing boats figured out how to move it 30 degrees in two ways. Film presented on Twitter showed up on show the towing boats sounding their horns to praise this little triumph.
