The Suez Canal

Salvage teams succeeded in freeing a massive container ship that had been stuck in the Suez Canal for the past seven days, blocking billions of dollars' worth of cargo from crossing one of the world's busiest marine waterways. 

30,000 cubic metres of sand had been dredged to help free the vessel, which had been pulled free using 13 tugboats.
