A 64,000-tonne oil tanker ran aground in the Suez Canal sparking a massive recovery operation on the major international trade route.
Tug boats were sent to help free the Affinity V with immediate fears that there could be a repeat of the Ever Given ship that was stuck for three months in Egypt.
World trade ground to a halt with the Ever Given, that had 18,300 containers on board, completely blocking the Suez Canal last year.
