by Ship & Bunker News Team
Friday May 28, 2021 The grounding of the 20,000 TEU container ship that blocked the
Suez Canal in March may have been because of its speed and rudder design, according to the local authorities. The Ever Given was travelling at too high a speed when it became grounded, news agency
Reuters reported on Thursday, citing comments from Osama Rabie, the authority s chairman. The ship was travelling at about
25 km/hour, compared with a normal speed of 8-9 km/hour for the canal s southern channel, Reuters cited Rabie as saying.
