The Suez Canal, one of world’s most important & busiest maritime trade routes gets disrupted. An oil tanker got stranded in Egypt’s Suez Canal after to a technical fault with its rudder. The 252 metre (827-foot) vessel, Affinity V, had drifted to obstruct the southern section of the canal while travelling in a southbound convoy of ships on August 31. The incident occurred in the same single-lane stretch of the canal where cargo ship the ‘Ever Given’, ran aground in March 2021 & disrupted trade route for 6 days. Watch this video to know how Affinity V was refloated.

    1. According to Darius the Great's Suez Inscriptions and Herodotus, the first opening of the canal was under Persian king Darius the Great, but later ancient authors like Aristotle, Strabo, and Pliny the Elder claim that he failed to complete the work

    2. Time to build A new Channel of 206 km as Backup to Suez channel between Israyel and Egypt..So that the Traffic can be reduced and Egypt and Israyel can earn together and Ships can travel without much Waiting period
