CAIRO/TOKYO -- As tugboats continued work Thursday to dislodge a giant containership from the Suez Canal, anxiety is growing that one of the world's busiest waterways could be congested for weeks, disrupting global trade flows.
The vessel's Taiwan-based operator, Evergreen Marine, said that Dutch company Smit Salvage and Japan's Nippon Salvage have been recruited to work with Egypt's Suez Canal Authority to design an improved plan to refloat the ship, Reuters reported Thursday.
