A very large container ship struck land and is blocking Egypt’s Suez Canal waterway. At least 150 other ships cannot pass it, officials said. The ship, called the Ever Given, is registered in Panama. It usually carries cargo between Asia and Europe. It ran aground Tuesday in the manmade waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Efforts to free the ship using heavy equipment have not been successful. Billions of dollars of products and supplies cannot pass through the canal as a result. The ship’s Japanese owner offered a written apology Thursday for the incident.
