The huge container ship that blocked the Suez Canal is preparing to dock in the UK for the first time since causing disruption to global shipping.
The Ever Given blocked the major shipping lane in Egypt for nearly a week earlier this year.
Under original plans the 400m-long ship was due to arrive at the Port of Felixstowe in Suffolk in early April.

But instead it is expected to arrive on Tuesday and can be spotted at sea from the coastal town.
The ship was heading for Rotterdam when it ploughed into the sandy bank of a single-lane stretch of the canal on March 23.

Let's hope the perishables were first offloaded in Rotterdam...
