Two tankers, the Singapore-flagged BW Lesmes and Cayman Islands-flagged Burri, briefly collided in Egypt's Suez Canal, ship tracking company Marine Traffic said early Wednesday, citing eyewitnesses.
The shipping tracker showed the BW Lesmes, which carries LNG, stopped and pointing north, and Burri, an oil products tanker, moored and pointing south about 19 km from the southern end of the canal at 2:55 a.m..
A time lapse shared by Marine Traffic showed Burri turning sideways and colliding with an already sideways BW Lesmes at 2040 GMT before backing up and pointing straight.There was no immediate confirmation from the Suez Canal Authority. Approximately 12% of the world's trade moves through the canal. During strong winds in 2021, a huge container ship, the Ever Given, became jammed across it, halting traffic in both directions for six days and disrupting global trade.Reporting by Muhammad Al Gebaly, Nafisa Eltahir, and Yusri Mohamed; Writing by Enas Alashray; Editing by Jacqueline Wong and Cynthia Osterman
