Suez Canal has finally resumed it’s passage on Monday evening at 6pm local time said Lt Gen Osama Rabei.

The channels for navigation were open after salvage teams freed a colossal container ship stuck in the waterway for nearly a week since March 23.

The clog halted billions of dollars a day in maritime commerce as the Suez Canal is one of the worlds most vital waterways.

At least 113 of more than 420 vessels that had waited for Ever Given container ship to be freed were expected to cross the canal by Tuesday morning, Gen Rabei said.

The Ever Given sailed to the Great Bitter Lake, a wide stretch of water halfway between the north and south ends of the canal, for inspection, said Evergreen Marine Corp, a Taiwan-based company that operates the ship.
