Deadlines for settlement of situation with vessel in Suez Channel

The owner of the Ever Given jammed in the Suez Canal called the period of settlement of the incident calling the collapse, the kiodo agency reports.

According to him, the container ship will be removed from the melie on the weekend. “We expect that the ship will be able to free the Saturday at Japanese time at night,” said the representative of the Japanese company Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd, which belongs to Ever Given.

Earlier in the company apologized for “caused serious anxiety” and assured that they continue to do everything possible in order to remove the ship from Melie, and find a solution to the situation.

Giant vessel Ever Given, located in the long-term administration of the Taiwanese Evergreen Group, stranded in the southern part of the Suez Canal, which does not have doubles. It followed from China in Rotterdam (Netherlands). It was previously reported that container ship accidentally deviated from the course due to a strong wind. The incident led to the collapse of the Suez Canal – the most important trading path, which includes cargo with oil and gas. More than 100 ships, in particular, tankers with Russian oil were included in the traffic jam. Against the background of traffic reports raised the price of Brent oil.

According to the calculations of the Bloomberg agency, the damage to the global economy from blocking the Suez Canal is 9.6 billion dollars a day. Such is the average cost of goods transported in both directions on the Suez Channel, which now turned out to be unavailable for ships.
