Ever Given Ship's Managers Issue Update After Suez Canal Logjam On 4/14/21 at 10:21 AM EDT Ever Given, the giant container ship that was stuck sideways in the Suez Canal for nearly a week, has been deemed fit for onward travel by its technical managers. The vessel is currently anchored in Egypt's Great Bitter Lake, where it has been since it was freed. It was seized by the Egyptian government on Tuesday, which is seeking $900 million in compensation for costs arising from its rescue. Ever Given was "declared suitable for onward passage to Port Said where she will be assessed again before departing for Rotterdam [in the Netherlands]," according to a statement Wednesday from Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), the ship's technical managers.
