Greek authorities have stopped ship traffic on the Corinth Canal on Monday, after landslide eroded its steep rock walls.

It may take workers about 15 days to clear the waterway, so that it can be released for traffic, a Greek shipping ministry official told TradeWinds, citing initial estimates by Canal officials. Costas Tselikas with Elefsis Shipping Agency told TradeWinds his clients have been informed by Canal officials that the waterway will shut down for at least seven days.
