A Norwegian Cruise Line ship, the Norwegian Dawn, ran aground in a reef off Bermuda after temporarily losing power.
An attempt to free the ship on Wednesday failed. Further help is not expected to arrive until Friday evening.
The ship, built in 2018 with a length of nearly 400 metres and a width of 59 meters, is among the largest cargo ships in the world.
The Suez Canal - one of the world's most important shipping routes - has been blocked after a 400-metre long container ship ran aground on Tuesday. The MV Ever Given got stuck in the waterway during high winds, according to its operator. The canal's authorities are working to free the ship, as a backlog of other vessels have built up north and south of the blockage. Also today, Amazon warehouse workers and delivery drivers in Italy have staged a 24-hour strike over their working conditions.
Royal Caribbean has announced they are selling its Azamara cruise line brand. According to Business Insider, the company will sell the line to Sycamore Partners for $201 million. The Azamara deal is the latest in a series of cruise industry disruptions amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Azamara sale is a cash transaction between Royal Caribbean and Sycamore Partners, a private equity firm. Sycamore will then own the cruising brand and its fleet of three ships.
