Do You Know That Ever Given is Still in the Suez Canal
Litigation is preventing Ever Given to leave the Canal.

The Suez Canal Authority has banned the big cargo ship Ever Given from leaving the canal.
The ship will remain in the canal until investigators complete an inquiry into how the ship blocked the international shipping route for almost a week.
Inspection is going on under the ship to verify damages.
The blockade had halted billions of dollars a day in maritime commerce.
Engineers and divers are inspecting the Ever Given for damage and trying to determine why it ran aground. Some damage was spotted to the bow but not enough to take it out of service.
The ship is now in the Great Bitter Lake, a wide stretch of water halfway between the north and south ends of the Suez canal.
