Vessel Temporarily Grounds in Suez Canal, Halting Traffic Before Successful Refloat

A Hong Kong-flagged bulk carrier ran aground at the Suez Canal's southern entrance, blocking four other ships.
After a few hours, the ship was refloated and traffic resumed as normal.
There are conflicting reports on how the ship became stuck, with some saying it ran aground and others citing engine failure.
The Suez Canal is vital for trade and shipping as it links the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
There have been several incidents at the canal recently, including a six-day blockage in 2021 that disrupted global trade.
