CAIRO (Reuters) - The giant container ship that blocked the Suez
Canal for almost a week was fully floated on Monday and traffic in
the waterway would resume, the canal authority said in a statement.

A Reuters witness saw the ship moving and a shipping tracker and
Egyptian TV showed it positioned in the centre of the canal.
