Osama Rabea Team: First BANGKOK MAERSK transit at Suez
The Suez Canal witnessed the transit of the first Maersk container ship, the "Bangkok Maersk," through the North convoy. The vessel was on its journey from Italy to Singapore, with a cargo of 190,000 tons and the capacity to carry 17,200 TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units). This passage is a indicative sign of the recovery of maritime movement between Europe and Asia, as the canal has recorded the daily transit of two ships from the Maersk line. This underscores the canal's importance as a major route that shortens travel time by approximately 14 days compared to sailing around Africa, leading to cost reductions and benefits for customers. Officials praised the developments in the navigation channel, especially the Suez Canal expansion project, which has increased the efficiency and safety of navigation for giant vessels.
