Container ship Ever Given back in Suez canal for return trip

Vessel that caused global disruption when it got stuck is heading for the Red Sea again

In a rematch of the struggle that dominated global headlines earlier this year, the 400-metre, 220,000 tonne container ship that became lodged in the Suez canal for nearly a week, disrupting trade on a global scale, is having another go.

Several weeks after finally docking at the UK port of Felixstowe - after a months-long negotiation over who should bear the costs of blocking the shipping lane for six days in March - the vessel returned to Port Said, Egypt, on Thursday night.
