A massive container ship has been blocking Egypt’s Suez Canal for nearly a week. The 400-metre long ship became stuck diagonally across a southern section of the canal in high winds early last Tuesday, halting shipping traffic on the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia.

What is going on in the Suez Canal? 

A large container ship has been stuck across Egypt’s Suez Canal, blocking access to one of the world’s more important shipping routes.

The Ever Given, a Panama-flagged, Japanese-owned vessel, was on the way from China to Rotterdam when high winds caused its bow to plough into the eastern bank of the canal about 6km north of the Southern canal entrance, near the city of Suez.

The incident led to a major maritime traffic build-up, with some 321 ships now stuck outside the canal’s entrance, and hundreds more en route to the waterway.

While the situation itself is serious and could have considerable economic consequences, many netizens are seeing the funny side. Many memes have emerged from the current situation. 

 

The massive container ship blocking Egypt’s Suez Canal has been partially refloated, the Suez Canal Authority said, raising hopes the busy waterway will soon be reopened.
