When news broke out that a cargo ship blocked the Suez Canal a few days ago, it sounded like a joke at first. But with each day and meme that went by, it became increasingly clear that the issue was quite serious. It wasn’t just about Ever Given, the giant ship with its bow and stern firmly impaled in the opposite sides of the canal. One of the world’s busiest trade routes was blocked, with many boats unable to cross it in either direction. A traffic jam ensued just as officials scrambled to dig the Ever Given out of the beaches, refloat it, and send her on her way. Early on Monday, Egypt time, the teams working around the clock for nearly a week have finally managed to see results. The Ever Given is partially refloated, but the ship isn’t ready to move as the rescue is far from complete.
