Suez Canal Collision: Tanker and LNG Carrier Crash
An LNG carrier and a tanker collided in the Suez Canal, with a third tanker in the vicinity. The incident occurred in the southern end of the canal, where there is only one lane of traffic. The LNG carrier lost control and turned sideways, causing the collision. The impact on canal operations is unknown at this time. The incident comes after the grounding of the Ever Given in the same area earlier this year, which blocked the waterway for six days.
