Suez Canal Grounding
At around 15:00 hrs (GMT+2) on the 29/03, MV EVER GIVEN was successfully refloated, having been grounded at km 151 in the Suez Canal, since 23/03. She is currently in Great Bitter Lake, awaiting further inspections and investigation. The successful salvage operation was the result of an almost week-long effort, impressively executed and coordinated by Suez Canal Authority and partners.
About Leth Agencies
Since our inception in the Suez Canal zone back in 1924, we have expanded into a global services provider to the world’s shipping industry. Seizing an early prominent market position based on quality deliverances in the Suez Canal zone, we moved on to the transit hubs Turkish Straits, Panama Canal and Danish Straits.
Striving to stay ahead of the developing market needs, we are investing considerable time and financial resources into improving our services. By going online before most competitors in order to ease our clients’ access to us through user-friendly communication tools, was a milestone in the transit agent industry. Our Internet based, online “Suez Toll calculator” set new standards for cost and time efficient operations some 15 years ago, and was widely used by our clients, ship operators at large as well as by our competitors. Today our clients have the benefit of conducting all their transit related management tasks via our website.

Being utterly responsive to our clients’ needs and suggestions, we commit ourselves to an “innovate or die strategy.” This pledge is the rapid developing shipping industry’s best guarantee that we always will be capable of rendering our clients’ cutting edge services whenever needed.
Through decades, we have learnt our trade and fine-tuned our services to meet the always-increasing demand for quality required by our clients. The slogan “confidence in local competence” demonstrates the backbone of our success which is in depth local knowledge of all aspects of the agency business.
