VIDEO: Two huge container ships collide on the Suez canal

It may be the slowest crash ever.

You would think when you're travelling this slowly, you'd have enough time to avoid a collision.

These two shipping containers - one German and one Singaporean - managed to have possibky the slowest crash ever in the Suez Canal in Egypt .

But it still caused a good bit of damage. Because of their huge size, these shipping containers are extremely hard t stop.

German-flagged MV Colombo Express and the Singaporean-flagged MV Maersk Tanjong collided at the northern mouth of the canal - which joins the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and is a vital maritime connection between Europe and Asia.

No casualties were reported but three containers were knocked off the Colombo Express which also sustained a 20-metre dent to its left side.

There were also some delays in the busy shipping route.

"The incident has severely interrupted the second southbound convoy and the northbound convoy is therefore expected to be delayed," Agents Inchape Shipping Services told Reuters.
