Deal Struck To Allow The Release Of The Ever Given.

The massive cargo ship was stuck in the canal for 6 days.

Authorities on the Suez Canal say a deal's been reached to settle a financial dispute with the owners of a vessel which blocked the shipping route.

The Ever Given became lodged for six days in March, causing huge delays.

The agreement - for an undisclosed amount - also means the vessel and its crew will be able to leave a holding lake on the Egyptian canal.
