Suez Canal backlog is CLEARED: More than 400 supertankers stuck in shipping traffic jam are freed after week-long backlog which cost billions didn't cost me a thing
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Traffic on the canal, a conduit for over 10 percent of world trade, had begun moving again on Monday

  • It comes after the 200,000-tonne Ever Given was refloated, after it became jammed blocking the vital route

  • Egypt's Suez Canal Authority has now said that the traffic back-log that built up on the canal has cleared

  • The wedging of the Japanese-owned, Taiwanese-operated ship had created tailbacks north and south totalling over 420 ships, with billions worth of cargo sitting in the canal, waiting for the Ever Given to move
