Suez Canal Sees More Meridian Ship Passages
The Suez Canal in Egypt witnessed the transit of the first container ship belonging to Maersk, the "Bangkok Maersk," sailing from Italy to Singapore. This marks the return of many shipping services along the trade route between Europe and Asia. The ship's cargo was approximately 190,000 tons. The head of the Canal Authority confirmed that the number of transits has increased, explaining that passing through the canal reduces transit time by about 14 days and lowers costs compared to other maritime routes. This development comes at a time when navigation in the Red Sea is facing increased security tensions, with attacks on ships causing disruptions in shipping lanes and delays in cargo delivery, negatively impacting the canal's revenues.
