As the fall-out from the Ever Given’s grounding in the Suez Canal begins, there are going to be a lot of different facets to investigate – the causes of the incident, the insurance implications, and the wide impact on the container supply chain to name just three.

“The only alternative to a transit through the Suez Canal is the much longer passage around the African continent. Piracy in particular has been a significant concern for operators of merchant ships in recent years, first off the Somali coastline and more recently in the Gulf of Guinea.

March 30, 2021 at 8:22 pmThe best take-a-way lesson is to not build mega container ships but to operate Technomax Greener Cargo Shipping Solutions. Look at our website…..
http://www.technomaxmarine.org shows you all the many benefits !
One extra benefit would be… no blockage of the Suez canal as our ships are smaller and faster !!
