Salvage teams fighting to free the Ever Given container ship are removing part of the Suez Canal’s bank, as the rescue mission enters a critical phase. “The coming 24 hours will be crucial,” said Peter Berdowski, CEO of Boskalis, which is part of the salvage effort. “Tomorrow between 4 and 5 a.m. will be a tense moment. A lot will depend on the soil under the ship, but I’d give it a 50% chance that we will succeed.” Dredging and digging continues, and another tug is on the way to the giant vessel stranded in one of the world’s most important trade paths. Diggers have removed 27,000 cubic meters of sand, going deep into the banks of the canal ahead of renewed efforts to pull it out on Monday.
