Navigation through the Suez Canal was proceeding as normal in both directions and has not been affected by the grounding of the general cargo vessel Fener , the Suez Canal Authority said on Tuesday.
The vessel was grounded outside the canal's navigational channel in the western anchorage area north of Port Said, five miles west of the northern entrance of the Suez Canal in the Mediterranean Sea.
The vessel is 122 metres in length, with a draft of 3.5 metres and a tonnage of 4 000 tonnes.
