Ever Given is still stuck in the canal, because the ship is being held at ransom.

They are asking nearly a billion dollars to unstick it... doesn't matter how wide you make the canal when it's a cesspit of corruption.

Very bottom of the article says:

<< A few days after the Ever Given was dislodged, the SCA impounded the ship and its cargo and lodged a compensation claim of $916 million.

The canal authority since reduced the claims to $600 million. However, the insurer of the vessel said this amount is still too high. >>

Not billions. Also, what do you mean by "cesspit of corruption"?
