Grounding of Xin Hai Tong 23 in Suez Canal Causes No Significant Delays
A bulk carrier named Xin Hai Tong 23 ran aground in the Suez Canal, and was later refloated by tugboats.
The Suez Canal Authority successfully refloated the ship, and the incident did not cause any significant delays in the canal's operations.
The Suez Canal is a major waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, and is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world, with over 4% of global trade passing through it.
The canal was first opened in 1869 and was expanded in 2015 to include a parallel channel.
It is 120 miles long, 205 meters wide, and 24 meters deep.
