In response to circulating news reports regarding the Suez Canal Authority's detention of the vessel "DIGNITY" at the Suez Port anchorage, the Suez Canal Authority confirms that this matter is completely and entirely untrue.
SCA denies any connection to the legal dispute between Sphinx Shipping Agency and the vessel's owning company, which stems from the owning company's failure to pay financial dues owed to the shipping agency.
This dispute resulted in the issuance of judicial order No. 45 of 2025 by the Ismailia Economic Court, imposing a conservatory attachment on the vessel and ordering its detention at the Suez Port anchorage until the outstanding dues are paid in full.
The Suez Canal Authority calls on media outlets to seek accuracy and to disregard rumors aimed at stirring confusion and sowing doubt. SCA stresses the necessity of verifying the accuracy of any news being circulated about the Suez Canal and of obtaining correct information from SCA official sources.
