A big containership owned by German group Peter Dohle has caused navigation problems in the Suez Canal after it grounded yesterday.

Shipping agents reported that a vessel ran aground in the southbound convoy on Thursday afternoon.

It is believed that the ship is the 12,552-teu MSC Fabiola (built 2010).

The accident caused a complete stoppage to the rest of the convoy, which consisted of 10 ships behind the stranded boxship.
