GAC reported container ship grounding in Suez Canal, which occurred on Jul 15 at around 1830 LT, when the ship was transiting Canal in southbound convoy. She was refloated in comparatively short time and towed to Suez southern anchorage, so maybe she’s damaged or experiencing problems. According to AIS, the ship in question is container ship AENEAS. As of 1300 UTC Jul 16, she was still at anchor. She’s en route from Southampton to Singapore.
