Cargo vessel refloated after running aground in Suez Canal – The National

A cargo vessel carrying Ukrainian grain to China was refloated after running aground in the Suez Canal on Monday.

The MV Glory ran aground while joining a southbound convoy in Egypt, canal services firm Leth said.

Four of the Suez Canal Authority's strongest tug boats were used to pull the ship out of its position and refloat it, a statement from the authority's chief Admiral Osama Rabie said.
