Suez Canal Sees OOCL PORTUGAL Passage
The Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority announced the passage of the first giant container ship of the OOCL PORTUGAL type through the canal on its journey from Belgium to China. This is the first vessel for the COSCO SHIPPING Lines shipping line to transit southward through the canal since the tensions in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The ship is 400 meters long, 61.3 meters wide, carries 247,000 tons, and can transport up to 24,000 TEUs. It directly serves the trade route between the Far East and Northwestern Europe. Major shipping lines have resumed operating through the canal, with container ship loads increasing by 54.2% from January to August 2026. Today alone, 39 ships transited the canal, carrying a total of 2.3 million tons. (Note: The original text mentions the period as January to August 2026, which appears to be a typo since it is in the future relative to the rest of the context. It likely refers to January to August 2023.)
