The Ever Given was stuck near the Egyptian city of Suez, about 3.7 miles north of the canal's southern entrance. It was in a single-lane section of the canal, about 985 feet wide. Its owners originally said high winds in a sandstorm pushed the ship sideways, wedging it into both banks of the waterway.
Why did the evergreen get stuck?
The ship's leasing company, Evergreen Marine Corp, said the same day that the ship "was suspected of being hit by a sudden strong wind, causing the hull to deviate from (the) waterway and accidentally hit the bottom," Reuters reported.
Why is the ship stuck in the Suez Canal?
The Suez Canal Authority said in a statement that the Panama-flagged Coral Crystal ran aground in a double-lane stretch of the canal, forcing the officials to redirect other vessels in the convoy to the other lane.
