A cargo ship ran aground in the Suez Canal this morning, again complicating shipping, the Associated Press and Reuters reported.
The Marshall Islands-flagged MV Glory is stuck near the town of Kantara, Ismailia province, and tugs are trying to move it, shipping agency Leth Agencies said.
A spokesman for the Suez Canal administration did not respond to questions.
According to the General Coordination Center in Istanbul, “MV Glory” transports 65 thousand tons of corn from Ukraine to China.
Satellite data analyzed by the AP showed the vessel stuck in a one-way lane in the Suez Canal south of Port Said.
