Reuters: Suez Canal traffic uninterrupted after ship suffers fault- canal authority
A container ship collided with a floating bridge in the eastern lane of the Suez Canal on Wednesday but the passage of ships through the waterway would not be interrupted, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said.
What a shit article.
The current event gets 2 sentences with no details and rest of the article is rehashing the previous incident.
The Daily Express is garbage.
I think you underestimate the powerful voodoo that the mere mention of Suez exercises over the British Conservative imagination. It marks the point at which the transition between being a superpower and not was really driven home to them.
Is the canal already open again?
The El-Mansy bridge can be found on Google Earth/Maps and it’s a floating bridge, with a fixed section on each bank:
But looking on https://www.vesselfinder.com/ over the last minutes, I saw two ships (Serengeti & Omiros L) passing that piece with the bridge from north to south through the canal.
edit: As others already posted: What a shit article, nothing is or was blocked. Reuters has the proper info.
