A ship carrying grain from Ukraine to China is being taken for inspection after its engine lost power in Egypt’s Suez Canal on Monday morning and briefly disrupted traffic in the vital waterway.
A leak from a cooling component caused Glory, a bulk carrier, to lose propulsion, said Target Marine SA, the vessel’s operator. The ship didn’t run aground or touch the bottom of the canal, the Athens-based firm said. At least two port agents earlier said that it did.
