Ever Given, the ship which was stuck in the Suez Canal has been set Free

The course of the 400m-long (1,300ft) Ever Given has been corrected by 80%, according to the Suez Canal Authority.

The stern of the ship, which had been four metres from the shore, was now 102m clear, the Suez Canal Authority said. It added that efforts to fully refloat the boat had begun.

Efforts to move the boat would resume at 11:30 local time (09:30 GMT) once the tide rises, officials said.

Traffic would resume once the ship is moved to a waiting area in a wider section of the canal, the authority said. 

A total of 367 vessels are waiting to pass through.
