Nearby stranded ships blasted their horns as the huge container ship stuck in Egypt's Suez Canal was partially re-floated overnight.
Tugboats and salvage crews took advantage of high tides to free the Ever Given from the shoreline.
The ship has been lodged in a single-lane stretch of the canal for nearly a week, and it's not clear how much longer it will take to free it.
About 12 per cent of global trade by volume goes through the Suez Canal, and it accounts for 30 per cent of the world's daily shipping container freight.
