摘要

BARCELONA (ICIS)--Europe is suffering a lingering impact from the Suez Canal closure, with delays in deliveries of up to two weeks, while Maersk, the world’s largest shipping company has suspended short term bookings. Although the canal reopened on 29 March after being blocked for six days by the Ever Given, one of the world’s largest container ships, it will take several days to clear the backlog of ships, which numbered 292 on 31 March, according to transport group Leth Agencies.
