It is estimated that the income loss caused by the forced suspension of the canal is about140 thousand to150 thousand dollars per day. Labille said, "Ever Given" can't leave until the investigation of the cause of the accident is completed and a compensation agreement is reached.
Labille has not ruled out the possibility of claiming compensation through litigation. In the event of a lawsuit, the Ever Given and its cargo will remain in Egypt until the lawsuit is over. At present, the cargo ship is moored at the Great Bitter Lake near the incident for inspection.

According to the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, Labille, chairman of the Suez Canal Authority in Egypt, said that about 194 ships had passed through the Suez Canal from the resumption of navigation to March 3.
According to reports, Labille also said that it is expected that about 87 ships will pass by on April 1 day.
On March 23rd, a heavy cargo ship "Ever Given" flying Panamanian flag ran aground in the new channel of Suez Canal, causing channel blockage. After several days of rescue, the stranded cargo ship successfully left the shallow water area on the 29th.
Labille said earlier that there are 422 ships waiting in line to pass, and it may take three and a half days to evacuate these ships.
