The effects of the accident in the Suez Canal can still be felt today. What are the limits for navigating rivers and canals with container giants?
The container giant Ever Given attracted worldwide attention when it capsized at around 14:40 (UTC) on 23 March while passing through the Suez Canal, which is only 300 metres wide. Further passages by ships were subsequently no longer possible. Towing the ship free was unsuccessful, as both ends of the ship were pushed deep into the sandy embankments due to the high kinetic energy.
