A grounded capesize bulk provider has been refloated greater than 12 days after operating aground within the Suez Canal.

According to media studies and AIS, the New Katerina was refloated Monday with the assistance of tugs and after lightering operations had been accomplished.

The Panamanian-flagged bulk provider ran aground at kilometer 69 within the Suez Canal on February twenty fifth whereas touring from Suez, Egypt to Qingdao, China.

The incident did trigger delays to a number of convoys, though the Suez Canal Authority has insisted that ship actions by the canal continued at a traditional tempo all through the salvage.
