Ever Given: Ship that blocked Suez Canal leaves Felixstowe

The huge container ship that blocked the Suez Canal has left the UK and is heading for Germany.

The Ever Given docked at Felixstowe, Suffolk, at 16:30 BST on Tuesday, its first UK visit since causing disruption to global shipping.

Operated by Taiwanese firm Evergreen Marine, the ship was originally due to arrive in early April.

The 400m-long (1,300ft) vessel left in the early hours of Thursday after 2,000 containers were unloaded by crane.

Its next destination is Hamburg.
