The Affinity V “ran aground in the Suez Canal at 19:15″ (17:15 GMT)”, a security source told AFP, adding that maritime traffic had been restored after “a short period”.
The incident was caused by “technical damage to the rudder resulting in a loss of control of the ship”, according to the Suez Canal Authority, which said the 64,000-ton tanker had been “successfully refloated”.
The SCA said it had quickly mobilized more than five towing vehicles for the operation.
According to the website Vessel Finder, the 250-meter-long, Singaporean-flagged tanker is headed for the Saudi port of Yanbu.
The Suez Canal, a vital portal between Asia and Europe, sees about 10 percent of the world’s maritime trade.
Last year, super tanker Ever Given became wedged diagonally across the canal during a sandstorm, disrupting world trade for nearly a week.
According to the SCA, Egypt lost between $12 million and $15 million every day of the closure, while insurers estimated the global maritime trade suffered billions of dollars of lost revenue per day.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi approved a project in May to widen and deepen the southern portion of the canal where the Ever Given had gotten stuck...WATCH.THE.VIRAL..VIDEO
