The job of moving a huge container ship stranded in the Suez Canal using a tugboat has so far been unsuccessful. Restoration of the canal, one of the transport aortas, will likely take time.
Resurfacing work on the beached container ship “Evergiven” was suspended until the morning of the 25th local time, the Inchicape shipping agency said, citing the Suez Canal Authority.
An elite ship salvage unit arrived at the site on the 25th, and the one always delivered with a total length of 400 meters.We are planning to consider how to move it.
Evergiven, which is longer than the Eiffel Tower, ran aground on the 23rd, blocking the canal and blocking ships traveling between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Since about 12% of global trade goes through the channel, if it takes time to recover, it will affect the global supply chain, which is tight due to the expansion of e-commerce demand due to the novel coronavirus disease.
“Even two days late will add to supply chain disruption and delay delivery to UK and European companies,” said Greg Knowler, European editor of the JOC Group, which is part of IHS Markit.
The Suez Canal Authority has not commented on the work and has not disclosed a prospect of return.
