The adviser to the President of the Egyptian Republic for the Suez Canal, Mahab Mamesh, said Monday that it would take a few days for the ship's leader to drift.

The former commander of the Egyptian Navy added that the insurance companies would pay much to the ships waiting for because of the Suez Canal accident, but that "we are not interfering."

The adviser to the Egyptian President said: "The ship's delinquency is the responsibility of its commander and we exclude the hypothesis of sabotage, and wind and weather conditions are the cause of the accident."

He continued: "Today we resume navigation on the Suez Canal and begin to provide guides to convoys inside the Canal, in preparation for the discharge of the Canal from the vessels waiting," explaining that it takes about 4 days for traffic to return to normal.

The ship is currently moving towards the lake region of the Canal for examination "before being authorized to move towards the port of destination."

He went on: "We will get the value of any losses caused by the ship's rig on the bank of the canal, the locomotives that we used, we will get the return from the shipowner, any losses to any party that will be the responsibility of the shipowner or as the foreign jurisdiction says in this matter, but we will get everything we spent on the rescue and the loss of the Suez Canal stop."

The Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, Lieutenant General Osama Spring, announced on Monday that "traffic in the Suez Canal will resume after the Authority has successfully rescued and floated the Panamanian mega-container ship."

The Egyptian Suez Canal Authority published a live broadcast of the floating of the Panamanian ship "Iver Given," which was a delinquent days ago, and disrupted the Canal's traffic.
