The traffic at the Suez Canal waterway is going on normally despite the accident of Panamanian ship New Katerina, head of the Suez Canal Authority Mohab Mamish said on Monday.

A total of 209 ships have transited the Suez Canal carrying 13.3 million tons since Thursday, Mamish added in a statement.

The Panamanian ship, which was coming from Russia and heading to China, went off course Thursday in the 63rd km of the canal’s Western branch. 

The ship was carrying a cargo of iron dust.
