早安～看到蘇伊士河疏通也鬆了一口氣嗎？
來看看運河堵塞對全球貿易的影響！
蘇伊士運河恢復通航，但航運亂局恐持續數月
Suez Canal Opens, but Shipping Will Be Snarled for Months
#今天來讀華爾街日報
🚢Late Tuesday, ships were again moving through the Suez Canal, a day after engineers freed the Ever Given, a 1,300-foot container ship, and cleared the waterway for global traffic. Osama Rabie, chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, which runs the 120-mile shipping route, said at a press conference that 113 ships had crossed in both directions since the route reopened late Monday, and another 95 are expected to pass through in the evening, up from the typical 50 or so daily passages.
周二晚間，船舶再次排起長隊通過蘇伊士運河，就在前一天，在工程師的努力下，1,300英尺長的貨櫃輪「長賜號」終於脫困，疏通了這條全球水上運輸通道。負責運營這條長達120英里航道的蘇伊士運河管理局主席Osama Rabie在新聞發布會上表示，自運河周一晚間恢復通航以來，雙向共計已有113艘船隻通過，預計晚間還將有95艘船隻通過，而通常情況下每日通航船隻數在50艘左右。
🛳Shipowners, exporters and importers are now racing to secure berths and containers at ports, while warning of delays and higher costs for cargoes that are slowly starting to move toward their destinations again. Shipping lines have sent ships on alternative routes, including around the southern tip of Africa, delaying arrivals and adding costs. Port authorities are girding for a flood of arrivals as diverted ships and delayed Suez vessels arrive on top of regularly scheduled traffic.
船東、出口商和進口商當前正競相爭取港口泊位和貨櫃，同時也提醒，那些再次向目的地移動的貨物，可能會延遲到港，而且成本會增加。一些航運公司已讓船隻改變航線，包括繞道非洲南端，這將延誤到達時間並增加成本。港務部門正準備迎接大量船隻到港，改道的船隻和在蘇伊士運河延誤船期的船隻會和船期正常的船隻一同抵達。
📦Much of the world’s maritime trade is packed into containers—metal boxes that are stacked on ships and moved on and off by giant cranes—that need to be moved around the world in a carefully choreographed global shuffle. Boxes that don’t arrive on time in one port aren’t available to load cargo bound for another. The world was already suffering from a shortage of these boxes, and the Suez blockage has temporarily made them more scarce.
全球大部分的海運貿易都是通過將貨物裝進貨櫃裡來進行的，這些金屬箱子被堆放在船上，用巨型起重機上下搬運，需要在精心編排的全球調度下輪轉。如果貨櫃沒能按時到達一個港口，就無法裝載運往另一個港口的貨物。全球本來就面臨貨櫃運力不足的局面，蘇伊士運河的堵塞又暫時讓這些貨櫃變得更加稀缺。
