A tug sank in the Suez Canal after colliding with a carrier

On Saturday 4 August, the tug Fahd sank in the Suez Canal. It collided with the LPG tanker Chinagas Legend. One of the tug’s crew, who was trapped in a cabin, died.
The other six were rescued.
The closure of the Suez Canal is costing billions of dollars in transport delays. Egypt loses between 12 and 15 million dollars per day of closure.
As ships get bigger, they cause more problems. They need better infrastructure, more space and can cause more damage.
The Evergreen incident was a harbinger of future problems.
