(ANSA) - CAIRO, MARCH 29 - The Ever Given ship has returned to block the Suez Canal.
The container ship, after an attempt to free it from aground, went diagonally again.
The sites that monitor maritime traffic refer to them.
Shortly before, Smit Salvage, a Dutch company that was participating in the release of the Ever Given aSuez container ship, had stated that the hardest part of the operation was yet to come.
"The good news is that the stern of the ship is free, but this is in our opinion the simplest part: the challenge is to clear the front of the ship," the executive director of Royal Boskalis, SmitSalvage's parent company, explained to Dutch public radio.
The Italian tug Carlo Magno collaborated at the stern release, together with the Dutch Alp Guard.
Smit Salvage is a Rotterdam-based company that participated in the removal of both the wreck of the Costa Concordia which sank off the Giglio Island in 2012, emptying its tanks, and that of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk in 2001, following the accident of the previous year.
