Vessels waiting to pass through the Suez Canal are seen, in Egypt. The 400m-long Ever Given container ship blocked the Suez Canal as it was knocked off course during a sandstorm on 23 March while en route from China to Rotterdam, Netherlands. About 12% of global trade passes through the canal, which connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and provides the shortest sea link between Asia and Europe.
