The huge Ever Given container ship has been stuck in the Suez Canal since Tuesday.
The embarrassing navigational problem has been blamed on bad weather.
Pictures show a timeline of the grounding of the vessel that has hit global trade.

The location of the grounding couldn't have been worse: the Suez Canal is a vital but narrow link in many global supply chains, and delays there can be felt around the world.

Egyptian authorities have been scrambling to dislodge the vessel, and so far none have been successful.

The ship, which sails under a Panamanian flag, was headed for Rotterdam, Netherlands, from the Yantian District of China, according to the ship-tracking site Vessel Finder.
