The vessel turned sideways amid stormy weather, blocking traffic in the crucial East-West waterway for global shipping. An Egyptian official warned on Wednesday it could take at least two days to move the ship. Ships were forced to queue up at both ends of the waterway after the 200,000-ton container vessel became stuck on Tuesday. Photo: VCG
