The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) engaged Boskalis through its subsidiary Smit International to manage marine salvage operations.
The obstruction occurred south of the section of the canal that had two channels, so there was no way for other ships to bypass Ever Given. Egyptian authorities said that "technical or human errors" may have also been involved. The 400-metre-long (1,300 ft), 20,000 TEU vessel was buffeted by strong winds on the morning of 23 March, and ended up wedged across the waterway with its bow and stern stuck in the canal banks, blocking all traffic until it could be freed.
In March 2021, the Suez Canal was blocked for six days by the Ever Given, a container ship that had run aground in the canal.
