A ship with a Greek flag blocked the Suez Canal for some time

It was difficult for the ships to move from today Suez Canal, as two tankers encountered a problem and “stuck” for some time in the strait. In fact, the one ship that blocked the canal was under the Greek flag.

According to MarineTraffic, the Minerva Nike ship stopped in the Suez Canal, causing traffic delays.
