Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 24 March 2021 at 08:41 UTC, shows the Ever Given vessel after she got stranded in the Suez Canal. Ever Given, a 400-metre-long and 59-metre-wide 220,000-tonne container ship, ran aground on its way along the Suez Canal on 23 March 2021, obstructing maritime traffic in one of the world’s busiest waterways. Eight tugboats are involved in the recovery operations, but it is still unclear when the situation will return to normal. The plight of Ever Given is reported to have come about due to strong winds. Copernicus services include a Maritime Surveillance component that, in addition to other products, allows for the monitoring of ships and supports authorities in managing maritime traffic emergencies.
