TL;DR Summary

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 was the latest case of a vessel reported stuck in the vital waterway, which has seen a flurry of ships run aground or break down in recent years.
