" ... A massive container ship remains wedged in the Suez Canal for a third straight day, blocking one of the world's most important trade arteries.

The Ever Given, a container ship longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall, became wedged across the Suez Canal after running aground during high winds. That created traffic jams on either end of the waterway that handles around 12% of global trade and offers the shortest sea route between Europe and Asia. As a slew of tugboats worked to free the huge vessel, oil prices rose sharply, with international benchmark crude more than erasing steep losses from the previous session and the U.S. benchmark contract rising back above the $60-barrel mark.
