GAC said Suez Canal remains open but there have been some delays to convoys within the canal and upcoming scheduled starting times. Further traffic delays are expected until the vessel is refloated by Suez Canal Authority tugs, GAC said.
Media reports identify the vessel as the Panamanian-flagged New Katerina. AIS data from MarineTraffic.com said the ship is traveling form Suez, Egypt to Qingdao, China.
