Shoei Kisen Kaisha, the company that owns the Ever Given, released a statement Thursday apologizing for the issue. “We can’t exclude it might take weeks, depending on the situation,” Berdowski told the Dutch television program Nieuwsuur. Peter Berdowski, CEO of Boskalis, the company leading the rescue effort, cautioned on Thursday that the Ever Given being stuck for weeks is a very real possibility. “If the ship were to remain stuck for another week it could cause massive delays in the delivery of products, and every second of delay leaves billions of dollars’ worth of disruptions on the line,” Jennifer Bisceglie, CEO of supply chain risk management firm Interos, said to CNET on Friday. Experts say a couple days of delay would be a major inconvenience for shipping companies, but that a week or more of delays could prove catastrophic and not just for shipping companies. At the same time, the Suez Canal Authority over the weekend deployed more onland heavy machinery working to dig around the ship’s bow, which would make it easier for the vessel to be pulled out.Īuthorities have been working to extract the vessel for nearly a week. The vessel’s refloating comes after two additional tugboats were deployed on Sunday, as reported by AP News, to help a fleet of around 10 similar boats extract the 200,000-ton Ever Given.
It’ll need to be moved around - a tough task - before the 300-plus ships stuck in the canal bottleneck can gain passage. The Ever Given is longer than a skyscraper is tall and more importantly is longer than the canal is wide. It’s a pivitol moment of progress, but the saga isn’t over quite yet. More information about next steps will follow once they are known,” the company tweeted.
“The MV Ever Given was successfully re-floated at 04:30 lt. Now, after six days of rigorous efforts, the ship has been refloated, according to Inchcape. The Ever Given was lodged firmly into the embankments on each side of the Suez Canal. But on Sunday night (Monday morning Egypt time), a breakthrough was reached. With the waterway blockage entering its sixth day, the fallout is reverberating around the world. Which is why it’s a big deal that a 1,312-foot-long cargo ship called Ever Given has been blocking the Suez Canal since last Tuesday. If the canal’s cargo traffic is disrupted, that means delays in everything from oil to food to clothing to semiconductors. Roughly 12% of the world’s shipping traffic and a chunk of its oil supply goes through the manmade canal, which has become particularly vital following pandemic-related disruptions to shipping. Located 75 miles east of Cairo, the capital, it links the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, allowing for direct shipping from Europe to Asia. The Suez Canal is one of the world’s most important waterways.

However, the ship being floated may not fix the entire problem, as the giant Ever Given still needs to be maneuvered to free passage through the canal. That’s according to Inchcape, a shipping services provider, and ship tracker Marine Traffic. The Ever Given is finally afloat, according to shipping company Inchcape.Īfter nearly six days of being lodged aground, the Ever Given ship is now afloat.
