Nature At Rescue, Solving The Million Dollars Problem Of Suez Canal Blockage

After a week, finally, the Suez Canal waterway is unblocked but it cost a million dollar lossglobally. It took around 14 tug boats to pull and push this 400m long container ship which would have not been possible without the help of nature. The engineers were relying on the high tidal waves that occurred Monday to completely free the Ever Given.

It’s not only a matter of celebration for the engineers and traders who were waiting for the blockage to get cleared so that they can resume the navigation. Instead, it was a global concern as the ship brought a loss of millions in just one single day. Imagine the loss the traders faced within a week.
