With our eyes still on Suez, we’re presenting the five first vessels that went through the Canal after the incident with the Ever Given blocking the passage ended.
As transits in the Canal resumed in the evening of the 29th of March, first and in a southbound direction went the YM Wish, a 13,892 TEU containership flying the flag of Hong Kong.
According to AIS data, she paused her voyage on the 23rd while she was sailing in the Great Bitter Lake where she remained for the six following days.
Check many more pictures of her here.
This is the Maersk Esmeraldas, the second containership to pass through the Suez Canal after she had remained idle in the area for six days too.
The 13,092 TEU containership left Morocco on April 17 and is now heading to the port of Salalah in Oman.
Check her current position on our Live Map here.
Third passed the Ever Globe, which is sailing under the flag of Panama and could be considered the Ever Given’s sibling, as they both belong to Evergreen.
The massive 20,160 TEU vessel is now on its way to Sri Lanka, and the port of Colombo, sailing at a speed of 19.7 knots at the time of writing and has reported an ETA for April 6.

This is the Tulip, a 94-metre long livestock carrier that followed the convoy of the ships mentioned above.
She is flying the flag of Lebanon, has completed 40 voyages for the last 12 months and has visited seven countries since March 2020.
Specifically two ports in Spain – Cartagena & Tarragona – are those she visited most during this past year.

Another livestock carrier went through the Suez Canal moments after its reopening; the Jersey was the fifth vessel to transit the Canal last Thursday.
She is 86 metres in length, sailing under the flag of Togo, and she is usually sailing in the East Mediterranean, the Red Sea as well as the Black Sea.
