SUEZ PROVINCE, EGYPT MARCH 26, 2021: Pictured in this image taken from space is the grounded container ship Ever Given in the southern section of the Suez Canal. The 400m-long container ship, which is registered in Panama, blocked the Suez Canal as it was knocked off course during a sandstorm on 23 March while en route from China to Rotterdam, Netherlands. The container ship became wedged across the Suez Canal completely blocking the path of other vessels. According to some reports, at least 7 large tankers carrying 6.3 m barrels of oil are currently blocked in the canal. The Suez Canal accounts for 30% of global container ship traffic. The canal is also one of the worlds busiest oil shipping lanes. Roscosmos Press Office/TASS (Photo by Roscosmos Press Office\TASS via Getty Images)
