Attempts to refloat the Ever Given, which grounded last Tuesday blocking the Suez Canal, are continuing and a specialist tug ALP Guard arrived on Sunday to assist 11 tugs already onsite.

According to the Ever Given’s managers, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, an additional dredger, the THSD Causeway, is expected to arrive on 30 March.
