MV Ever Given

The MV Ever Given is a massive cargo ship that garnered worldwide attention in 2021 when it got stuck diagonally across the Suez Canal, a critical shipping route connecting Africa and Asia. Over 400 ships were delayed because of this blockage. The ship, about 400 meters long, had its bow and stern wedged into the canal's sides, blocking traffic for six days. Its size and weight made the recovery complex, involving dredging and heavy equipment. The incident highlighted the importance of global supply chains and the potential impact of disruptions in key maritime routes.
