In the wake of the Ever Given s grounding, the SCA has accelerated a plan to widen and deepen the southernmost section of the canal, and to extend a second lane further north that was built in a 2015 expansion.

The Ever Given, a container ship that blocked the Suez Canal for a week in March, left the waterway after 106 days on Wednesday as Egypt signed a compensation deal with its owners, the BBC reported.
The ship has a 25-member Indian crew. “We hope that these Indian seafarers come back to India very soon,” Sailors Union of India General Secretary RP Veetil told PTI.
The ship had got jammed diagonally across a southern section of the canal in high winds on March 18, halting shipping traffic on the key waterway. Authorities launched a tedious excavation operation, with diggers working to remove parts of the canal’s bank and expand dredging close to the ship’s bow to a depth of 18 metres.
