The massive cargo ship completely obstructing the canal and preventing any vessels from passing through was straightened and partially refloated early today nearly a week after it ran aground on the vital shipping route.
The accident has resulted in shipping delays of everyday items for customers around the world, bringing billions of dollars' worth of trade to a standstill.
It was estimated that the value of the goods delayed each hour was about US$400 million. (ILKHA)
