Seven gas tankers are diverted from blocked waterway as huge traffic jams build up on both sides
Urgent salvage efforts are continuing along the banks of the Suez canal to free a container ship that has been stuck there for nearly four days causing a major jam of hundreds of vessels and blocking a key artery of the global economy.
The Japanese owner of the ship said it aimed to free the vessel by Saturday afternoon UK time, but could not guarantee the effort would be complete by then.
