The M/V Glory Ship has been refloated after running aground in the Suez Canal and briefly disrupting traffic, according to Leth Agencies, which provides services to vessels going through the Egyptian waterway.
The ship, which over half the length of the Ever Given which blocked the canal in 2021, is floating again and the roughly 20 ships that were stopped from travelling south through the Egyptian canal will resume their voyages with minor delays, Leth statement read on Monday.
The M/V Glory is a bulk carrier, meaning it transports unpackaged cargo, including grains.
The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said navigation in the waterway would return to normal.
The Suez was blocked for almost a week in 2021 when the 400-metre-long (1,312 feet) Ever Given container ship got stick lengthwise across the waterway, backing up marine traffic in both directions. The incident had roiled global shipping markets and trade.
The M/V Glory is 225 metres long, according to the website of Greek operator Target Marine SA.
