SUEZ, Egypt: The Suez Attorney General today decided to form a maritime inspection committee to investigate and determine the cause behind the sinking of the Panamanian ship in the Suez Canal earlier this week. The ship sank on Thursday as Suez Canal Authority Rescue locomotives tried in vain to save it. The efforts were unsuccessful largely because the ship was blocked in the waiting area in the southern canal. The Suez Canal waterway is otherwise unaffected by the incident and navigation traffic continues normally in the Canal.
