Suddenly, a large box ship ran aground, the Suez Canal was blocked, and the two-way channel was blocked! It has been called to many important domestic ports!
According to the search network, on March 23rd, an ultra-large container ship "EVER GIVEN" owned by Evergreen Shipping ran aground on the northern part of the Suez Canal shortly after entering the Suez Canal, causing the traffic between the north and the south to be blocked, and the Asia-Europe route Delays stack up.
According to reports, there are nearly 7 tugboats and related ships assisting in the shallow escape near the vessel, but so far this giant ship is still "stuck" in the channel. The ship sailed from Yantian, China to Rotterdam.
According to reports, 15 ships after the "EVER GIVEN" ship were forced to stay in place. According to information from Shipxun.com, dozens of ships are waiting to enter the canal, and the waterway of the fleet going south has also been blocked.

AIS information shows that the ship is 400 meters in length, 59 meters in width, 15.7 meters in draft, and 20,388 TEU in capacity. It is currently the world's largest container ship. At present, the Suez Canal is 313 meters wide, 190 kilometers long, and 24 meters deep. The "main artery" of the Asia-Europe route may be blocked.
The stranded EVER GIVEN departed from a Chinese port to the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. It was fully loaded with Chinese cargo and served the well-known Asia-Europe CEM route. The domestic ports called Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen Yantian Port, etc., are expected to be beneficial to domestic cargo owners. The influence of freight forwarding is not small.
Shipping companies sharing cabins may include: ANL, APL, CMA CGM, CNC, COSCO SHIPPIN, OOCL.
Information of the ship and the shipping company sharing the cabin
As the only way for the Asia-Europe route, the Suez Canal channel is also one of the busiest channels in the world. It is expected that this accident will have a significant impact on the shipping industry.
The ship involved in the accident had previously called many important ports in China and loaded a large amount of export cargo. Recently, the foreign trade forwarders who have loaded the cargo on the ship have mainly paid attention to it, and pay close attention to the progress of the accident and the announcement of the shipping company to avoid further losses.
