TAIPEI (Reuters) - A container ship that ran aground in the Suez Canal on Tuesday was likely hit by a sudden strong wind, said Taiwan's Evergreen Marine Corp in a statement.
Evergreen, which is leasing the vessel under a time charter, said the shipowner has informed it that the ship "was suspected of being hit by a sudden strong wind, causing the hull to deviate from waterway and accidentally hit the bottom and run aground".
