Fun Fact: The "Ever Given" successfully passed through the Suez Canal

The huge container ship "Ever Given" ran aground in the Suez Canal on March 23, 2021, blocking the waterway, which is important for global trade, for around six days. The ship was also carrying bike parts and complete bikes. Following this accident, the "Ever Given" sailed through the Suez Canal again this weekend - without any problems.

The map of the online ship tracker shows it: The "Ever Given" passed through the Suez Canal on Sunday - without crossing and blocking the waterway. The huge container ship is now on its way to Rotterdam via the Mediterranean.

After the "Ever Given" ran aground in the Suez Canal in March 2021 and had to be freed, neither the ship nor the goods on board were free. The Egyptian authorities detained the ship for several weeks in order to assert claims for damages.
