The latest effort to dislodge the ship with tug boats was suspended late on Friday, and attempts would resume on Saturday, three sources at the canal said.

US President Joe Biden said his administration was looking at what it could do to help, after the 400-metre long Ever Given ran aground in the vital trade waterway on Tuesday due to strong wind.

Shipping rates for oil product tankers nearly doubled after the ship became stranded, and efforts to free the giant vessel may take weeks and be complicated by unstable weather, threatening costly delays for companies already dealing with COVID-19 restrictions. Earlier, the SCA said efforts to free the ship by tug had resumed following the completion of dredging operations at its bow to remove 20,000 cubic metres of sand.

The blockage could cost global trade $6 billion to $10 billion a week, a study by German insurer Allianz showed on Friday. About two dozen ships could be seen from the shores of Port Said on Friday morning, according to a Reuters witness. Analysts expect a greater price impact on smaller tankers carrying oil products, such as naphtha and fuel oil, for export from Europe to Asia, if the canal remains shut for weeks.
