TL;DR Summary

A cargo ship, the One Orpheus, broke down in Egypt's Suez Canal and crashed into a bridge, but the incident did not disrupt canal traffic. The ship went off course after its rudder malfunctioned, causing it to collide with the Mansi Bridge near Ismailia. The vessel's rudder was later fixed, and it resumed its journey. The extent of the damage to the bridge is unknown. This incident is the latest in a series of accidents in the Suez Canal, which plays a crucial role in global trade.
