Ever Given afloat, but Thai business could find itself in rough waters: private sector


BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Despite the massive Ever Given ship being freed from choking the Suez Canal and the smooth flow now of cargo vessels through the vital waterway, the private sector believes the overall problem is not over yet and it won't be all smooth sailing for exports.

The 400-metre-long Ever Given, one of the five largest cargo ships in the world, had paralysed transport since March 23 by blocking the Suez Canal, a major artery of Asia-Europe freight transport, leaving more than 450 cargo ships stranded at either end of the canal.
