“#Egypt seizes Ever Given, demands $900M payment<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Egypt has impounded the Ever Given \u2014 the massive container ship that blocked the Suez Canal and disrupted global commerce for days \u2014 while officials negotiate a hefty compensation payment with the boat\u2019s owner, reports say.<\/p>\n

An Egyptian court allowed the Suez Canal Authority to seize the ship until the Japanese firm that owns the vessel forks over $900 million for last month\u2019s traffic jam, the state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper reported<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

That amount accounts for the cost of moving the 400-meter-long ship after it ran aground along with costs for lost transit fees and stalled traffic that piled up during the six-day blockage, according to the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ship-leasing firm Shoei Kisen Kaisha is disputing 90 percent of that amount in negotiations with Egyptian officials, Suez Canal Authority chairman Osama Rabie told local media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do not want to pay anything,\u201d Rabie told a state-run TV network Monday.<\/p>\n

He also said the canal had suffered \u201cgreat moral damage\u201d in addition to the financial costs of the debacle.<\/p>\n

Shoei Kisen told news<\/a> outlets that the Ever Given had been seized and that the canal had made a claim for compensation, but said negotiations were ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are still talking to us. So we will continue negotiations on compensation,\u201d company spokesperson Ryu Murakoshi told The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rabie previously estimated that Egypt lost roughly $1 billion as a result of the snafu that brought hundreds of ships to a standstill and held up billions of dollars worth of goods.<\/p>\n

The Ever Given \u2014 which was carrying more than $3.5 billion in cargo when it ran aground March 23 \u2014 is now sitting in the Bitter Lakes near the canal\u2019s southern terminus while officials probe the incident, according to Al-Ahram.<\/p>\n

Crews managed to free the Ever Given on March 29 after shipments of animals, consumer goods and even sex toys were reportedly caught up in the ordeal.<\/p>\n

Shoei Kisen has apologized for the mess. But Evergreen Marine Corp. \u2014 the Taiwanese firm that chartered the Ever Given and whose name was plastered on the boat\u2019s hull \u2014 reportedly doesn\u2019t expect to foot the bill and denied responsibility for delays for the cargo it was carrying.<\/p>\n
