The Ever Given remains in Great Bitter Lake as discussions continue over the Suez Canal Authority's claims from the six-day canal blockage continues.

The 20,388-teu, 2018-built containership is being held by court order, Reuters reported on Tuesday, after its third-party insurer, the UK P&I Club, had its offer rejected by the authority.

The claims, first estimated to be around $1bn, are now around $916m, the newswire reported.
