An oil tanker that broke down in Egypt’s Suez Canal has been towed away, Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) Osama Rabie said.
“Traffic in both directions had resumed as normal after tugboats managed to move the stranded tanker,” he added on Sunday.
The SCA team reacted effectively to the technical failure in SEAVIGOUR, a 274-metre oil tanker that carried the flag of Malta crossing the artificial waterway from north to south, Rabie said, adding that the tanker would resume passage immediately after fixation, Xinhua news agency reported.
