Insurer for Suez grounded ship appeals detention by Egypt

UK Club, an insurer of the Ever Given cargo ship which ran aground in the Suez Canal in March, said on Friday it had filed an appeal in an Egyptian court over the detention of the vessel by authorities.

The Ever Given has been anchored in a lake between two sections of the canal since being dislodged on March 29 and is caught in a legal dispute linked to a $916 million compensation claim made by the Suez Canal Authority against the ship's Japanese owner.
