Suez Canal Collision: Tanker Grounded in Accident

Two tankers collided in the Suez Canal, causing one of them, the BW Lesmes, to run aground. The incident occurred in the same area where the Ever Given got stuck earlier this year. The Lesmes was refloated after six hours, while the other tanker, Burri, remains anchored for repairs. The Suez Canal, a vital waterway handling over 10% of global maritime traffic, was temporarily closed during the rescue operation.
