but was later held by local authorities over the incident. In July, , and it was allowed to set sail once again.

Once free, headed to Rotterdam in The Netherlands and Felixstowe in the UK to offload its months-old cargo. Then, it began to limp its way back to China.

This week, the vessel finally arrived at dry dock in Qingdao, China, where it will receive the essential work needed to repair its bow, hull and stern.

The bow, which was lodged in the banks of the Suez Canal for six days, appears bashed and crumpled in photos of the ship in dry dock.

On Twitter, maritime historian and Campbell University professor Sal Mercogliano explained the damages and the repair work that would be carried out.

In , he said:

“I talked with someone involved and the plan is to cut the bow off, including the thrusters. They have three replacement modules ready to go for Ever Given. They will inspect for hull damage.

“Due to the ship’s size, this is considered minor repair. It was referred to as a ‘nose job’.”

In of repairing the Ever Given, Mercogliano said that the majority of the ship’s damage was to its bulbous bow module and the area around its bow thrusters, as well as to the rudder and propellor.

The process of cutting away the damaged bow and replacing it with newly-fabricated pieces, he said, was an efficient way of repairing the ship.

He added that it was “absolutely incredible” that Ever Given was able to survive the damage. But he explained that as the repair work would mostly be carried out at the vessel’s front end, it constituted a relatively “minor” fix.
