Details. Officials did not report the cause of the incident. However, it is known that on Sunday, part of Egypt, including its northern provinces, experienced bad weather.
The vessel suffered a technical failure, and the canal engaged four tugboats to help refloat it, after which traffic in the canal was restored. It is expected that 51 ships will pass through the waterway on Monday.
