Seven liquefied natural gas tankers are being diverted away from the blocked waterway, as fears grow operation to free ship could take weeks
Global shipping companies have begun to re-route cargo away from the Suez canal as the blockage of the crucial international waterway by the stricken vessel Ever Given entered a fourth day.
With the stuck ship holding up an estimated $9.5bn worth of goods in huge traffic jams at either end of the canal, seven tankers carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) were diverted on Friday after the blockage caused traffic in the Suez canal to be suspended.
