Suez Canal
Suez Canal transits are continuing without disruption or delays, despite continuing unrest in Egypt. At some of the country’s ports, however, the situation is starting to have an impact on operations.
Delays and congestion of container stacking areas can be expected due to the fact that containers continue to be discharged while no cargoes are being released.
Break bulk operations are only permitted for non-direct delivery cargo, and discharge operations are very slow, due to a shortage of labour and diesel for shore equipment.
