Shipping moving again through Suez Canal - a podcast by RNZ

Ship horns are sounding in the Suez Canal in celebration of the successful refloating of the massive stranded container ship the Ever Given which has been blocking the waterway for almost a week. It's estimated around 400 ships are backed up waiting to continue their journeys and this backlog will take days to clear. These include container ships, oil tankers and bulk carriers, and the delays mean a range of consumer goods will take much longer to reach their destinations, including New Zealand. Former merchant mariner and Maritime historian Dr. Sal Mercogliano from Campbell University in North Carolina.
