The Ever given (operator Evergreen Marine Corporation) became lodged diagonally in the Suez canal one week ago Tuesday. 

 The 400 meter long (1300 ft) ship, fully loaded, is free at last to ply the seas and re-open this vital canal to ship traffic. According to the report, an average of 51.5 ships passed through the 193 km (120 miles) canal per day.

Here in stills from the BBC are photographs showing the ship stuck and finally moving again.
