Egypt’s Suez Canal remained obstructed for around a week because of a stranded ship. This is expected to cause delays in the delivery of goods from Brazil to some Arab countries. The Canal is one of shortest shipping routes between Brazil and the Gulf.

A ship that had blocked the Egyptian canal for the past seven days was cleared on Monday, 29, as the result of maneuvers. According to canal authorities, it will be three days before other ships can sail through the Suez Canal.

Brazilian Secretariat for Ports director of New Concessions and Port Regulation Policies Fabio Lavor said that despite the pandemic, the highest industry throughput on record is expected this year. He spoke during a webinar hosted by the Arab Chamber and the Union of Arab Chambers this Wednesday (12).
