The efforts to refloat the cargo ship Ever Given, that has been blocking the Suez Canal for the last few days, have finally made partial, but crucial, progress. Later on today, the final re-aligning of the ship’s direction will be completed so that it is positioned directly in the middle of the navigable waterway. The ship will then move immediately to the Bitter Lakes waiting area for technical inspection. (Source: Reuters, Guardian, Egypt Today, Ahram Online, Mubasher, al-Youm al-Sabee, al-Masry al-Youm)
