Arguably the world's most famous ship is due to dock on Felixstowe towards the end of this month.

The Ever Given gained global notoriety when it became wedged stuck in the Suez Canal, causing chaos to cargo deliveries world-wide, in March, which had a huge knock on effect to shipping.

This included the Port of Felixstowe with many cranes left idle as many container ships were delayed by weeks. Full story here...

She was impounded in Egypt while a compensation deal was thrashed out and the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) has now negotiated an agreement over a £655m compensation claim.

Although no details have been revealed about how much was paid by the Japanese owner of one of the largest container ships in the world, Shoei Kisen Kaisha, to the SCA, a satisfactory solution has been accomplished.

The Panama-registered ship, operated by the Taiwanese company Evergreen Line, has now been released and has today resumed her journey.

She is now due in Rotterdam on July 22.

The Ever Given will then depart the Dutch port on the morning of July 24, arriving in Felixstowe later that day, before heading off again on July 25.
