Is The Ever Given Still In The Suez Canal?

[ianess]

Long after the canal was reopened is it being held hostage by the Egyptian authorities looking for recompense?

Ever Given is still being held by the Suez Authorities. Its what would normally happen when a ship causes expense or damage to a port or other facility. The ship will not be allowed to leave until the claim is agreed and payment or legal agreement to pay has been received.

I think I read it was carrying billions ($?) cargo and the Egyptians wanted 1 billion to release it. Seems like a deal should be possible.

not held hostage, the owners have bills to pay and compensation for the chaos they caused.

Its not hostage. It is impounded until the 'salvage' is paid, which it will be once the Insurance company sorts it.
