The giant container ship MV Ever Given steamed into Rotterdam port this morning, more than four months after it was stuck in Egypt's Suez Canal
The ship, almost as long as New York's Empire State building is tall, entered Europe's port at around 3am.
"Finally, we can get the job done offloading and hopefully get her back to a normal sailing routine," he said. The MV Ever Given, which blocked the Suez Canal for six days in late March, finally steamed out of the waterway three weeks ago after Egypt and the vessel's Japanese owners signed a compensation deal.
The Suez Canal Authority announced last month it had signed a non-disclosure agreement with the Japanese firm ahead of reaching a final deal.
