/ world today news/ The head of the Suez Canal Administration, Osama Rabia, emphasized the uniqueness of the Ever Given container ship recycling operation.
According to Rabia, this is “the first such operation in the world”, given that Ever Give was able to sail without “unloading the containers”. He previously noted that offloading would be the last and undesirable way to solve the problem. Rabia said the Ever Given “has left the scene and is in Bolshoi Gorky Lake,” which is the widest point of the canal and is north of the crash site. By Tuesday morning, Egypt plans to pass through the Suez Canal 113 ships standing in a “traffic jam”, reports RIA Novosti.
According to the press office of Europe’s second-largest port by traffic in Antwerp, Belgium, it has not yet registered “fewer ships arriving”. It explained that in the port of Antwerp “the first unlocked ships should have arrived at the end of this week or the beginning of next week, according to the usual schedule.” When “ships can go to Western European ports, there will probably be a peak in traffic in all these ports.” The press office of the port authority believes that “it is still too early to assess how significant this impact will be” for Antwerp, but shipping companies may decide to “correct the schedule and port entry”, “the terminals are of course prepared . “
We recall that the Suez Canal was blocked by a container ship heading from China to the Netherlands and stuck at the 151st kilometer of the canal. On Monday, navigation was resumed, with the first ships beginning to pass through the Suez Canal.
