Container ship Ever Given blocks the Egyptian Suez Canal… An attempt to clear the channel and move the ship from its place during high tide on March 27 was not crowned with complete victory.
About March 28 reported BBC News.
According to officials, the ship is still planned to turn by Sunday evening.
A day earlier, workers managed to extract about 20,000 tons of sand, while 14 tugboats were pulling and pushing the vessel in an attempt to float the vessel.
Although strong tides and winds made it difficult to try to free the ship, the tugs were able to turn it 30 degrees in two directions.
The footage posted on Twitter shows the tugs buzzing to celebrate this small victory.

At the same time, judging by the resource data Marinetraffic, the ship remains in place:
Recall that Ever Given March 23 stuck in one of the busiest canals in the world. Then the blockage prevented the passage of 300 ships and some ships changed routes around Africa.
