A ship was briefly stranded in the southern part of the Suez Canal on Thursday, before being freed.
The Panamanian-flagged vessel, which was bound for Port Sudan, was stranded at the 54-kilometer (34-mile) point in the canal, according to a Suez Canal Authority official, who asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak to media. The ship was freed after about 15 minutes.
