Two container ships collided on Monday morning in Egypt's Suez Canal, reported Al-Ahram's Arabic news website.

The German Colombo Express was coming in from the Mediterranean Sea
when it hit the Singaporean ship Maersk Tanjong half a kilometre from
the Port Said port, Al-Ahram said.

Both ships sustained minimal damage; four containers fell into the
canal, which the Canal Authority retrieved. Navigation along the canal
was temporarily interrupted for three hours.

The SCA sent vessels to lead both ships to the Al-Balah bypass so they could continue their journeys. (LiveLeak)
