Egypt announced earlier on Monday that the Panamanian container ship has been successfully re-floated, according to Admiral Osama Rabie, Chairman and Managing Director of the Suez Canal Authority.
This was the result of successful push and tow maneuvers which led to the restoration of 80 percent of the vessel’s direction; with the stern 102 metres away from the bank of the Canal now instead of 4 metres prior to the refloating, Rabie said.
