Firm says cargo vessel ran aground in Egypt’s Suez Canal

CAIRO (AP) — A canal services firm says a cargo vessel has run aground in Egypt’s Suez Canal. Leth Agencies says the vessel, MV Glory, has run aground near the city of Qantara, in the Suez Canal province of Ismailia. The services firm said Monday canal tugs are trying to refloat the vessel. A spokesman for the Suez Canal Authority did not respond to calls seeking comment. The Joint Coordination Center listed the Glory as carrying over 65,000 metric tons of corn from Ukraine bound for China. Satellite tracking data analyzed by The Associated Press showed the Glory in a single-lane stretch of the Suez Canal just south of Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea.
