The container ship that was stuck in the Suez Canal was re-floated on Monday and is currently being secured, Inch Cape Shipping Services said in a post on Twitter.
The Suez Canal Authority had earlier said in a statement that tugging operations to free the ship had resumed.
The 400-meter-long, 200,000-tonne vessel ran aground last Tuesday amid high winds and a sandstorm that affected visibility.
Due to the blockage of the waterway, traffic jam grew to around 280 vessels near Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea, Port Suez on the Red Sea and in the canal system on Egypt’s Great Bitter Lake, according to canal service provider Leth Agencies.
