Four Suez Canal tugboats are working to move a stranded container ship bound for Portugal after it broke down in the waterway on Sunday, the Canal Authority said.

The authority's spokesman said in a statement that MSC ISTANBUL was on its way from Malaysia to Portugal when it got stuck.

The spokesman also said traffic in the vital waterway has not been affected.
