CAIRO – 7 August 2023: The body of the missing worker of the sunken tugboat that collided with a giant tanker in the Suez Canal was recovered on Sunday evening, said Suez Canal Authority (SCA) Chief Admiral Osama Rabie. The deceased was an Egyptian mechanic from Port Said called Sayed Moussa, Reuters quoted his family as saying. In a statement, Rabie said a SCA salvage team and the salvage crane Inkaz have been deployed to recover the tugboat Fahd after it collided with 230-meter Hong Kong-flagged LPG tanker Chinagas Legend. The oil tanker was sailing among the south convoy at the canal on its journey from Singapore to the United States when the incident took place. The tugboat sank after it was flooded with water due to the collision.
