An oil tanker caused a temporary disruption of traffic in Egypt’s Suez Canal on Sunday morning after its engine broke down. Three tugboats were deployed to tow the Malta-registered Seavigour to a nearby port on the northern stretch of the waterway for repairs, Suez Canal Authority spokesman George Safwat said. The tanker was traveling to China from Russia, and its breakdown is the second incident to affect traffic on the canal in the past two weeks.
