I hope you are not waiting for the content of a container. A month has passed without progress and nothing dramatic is likely to happen. The legal case will drag on and on!

The Suez Canal Authority has filed a $916 million claim against the owner of the Ever Given. The Ever Given will remain anchored in the Great Bitter Lake after an Egyptian court upheld a previous ruling on Tuesday preventing the ship from leaving the country. The Suez Canal Authority’s decision to arrest the Ever Given as leverage for its insurance claim is likely to further delay the General Average process. Last week the shipowner said it had notified “a number” of the owners of the approximately 18,000 containers on the ship to assume part of the damages demand.

And what of the crew? Abdulgani Serang, of the National Union of Seafarers in India, told Insider the 25-person Indian crew were in good spirits and have been treated well. Three members were permitted to leave the ship after their contracts expired, and two others were allowed to leave for personal matters.
