Stranded oil tanker causes traffic disruption in Suez Canal.

An oil tanker transporting crude oil broke down in a single-lane part of Egypt's Suez Canal, briefly disrupting traffic in the global waterway. The tanker was towed to a double-lane part of the canal after three tugboats intervened. The Suez Canal is a crucial link for oil, natural gas, and cargo, and about 10% of world trade flows through it. The incident is the latest in a series of vessels reported stuck in the canal, including the Ever Given, which blocked the waterway for six days in March 2021.
