The huge container ship that blocked the Suez Canal in March – disrupting global trade – has passed back through the waterway without incident.

The Ever Given was among a convoy of vessels sailing from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said.
It had been offloading its cargo in Europe and is now en route to Asia.
The ship was refloated after a major six-day salvage operation that led to the death of one person.
It was then impounded for three months near the canal city of Ismailia while a compensation deal was agreed between Egypt and the Ever Given’s owners.
