A vast range of goods from Ikea furnishings to tens of thousands of livestock were stuck in the maritime traffic jam caused by the Suez canal blockage.
More than 360 vessels were stranded in the Mediterranean to the north of the canal and in the Red Sea to the south when the giant container ship MV Ever Given became wedged diagonally across the vital waterway on 23 March. The ship was freed on Monday.
