I-Suez Canal Authority (SCA) ithole umyalelo wenkantolo osemthethweni wokubamba umkhumbi omkhulu wezitsha i-“Ever Given” “owehlulekile ukukhokha imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-US$900.”

Ngisho nomkhumbi kanye nempahla “kuyadliwa”, futhi abasebenzi abakwazi ukuphuma emkhunjini phakathi nalesi sikhathi.

Okulandelayo incazelo ye-Evergreen Shipping:

I-Evergreen Shipping ikhuthaza ngenkuthalo bonke abathintekayo ukuba bafinyelele esivumelwaneni sokuxazulula izinkinga ukuze kube lula ukukhululwa ngokushesha kokuthathwa komkhumbi, futhi ifunda ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukuphathwa kwempahla ngendlela ehlukile.

I-British P&I Club izwakalise ukudumala ngokuboshwa komkhumbi nguhulumeni waseGibhithe.

Le nhlangano iphinde yathi i-SCA ayizange inikeze izizathu eziningiliziwe zalesi simangalo esikhulu, okuhlanganisa isimangalo "sebhonasi yokuhlenga" esingu-$300 million kanye nesimangalo "sokulahlekelwa udumo" esingu-$300 million.

"Lapho umhlaba ufika, umkhumbi wawusebenza ngokugcwele, imishini yawo kanye/noma imishini yayingenazo iziphambeko, kanti ukaputeni onekhono nochwepheshe kanye nabasebenzi babenomthwalo wemfanelo kuphela."

Ngokuhambisana nemithetho yokuzulazula yeSuez Canal, ukuzulazula kwenziwa ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwabashayeli bezindiza ababili be-SCA.

I-American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) yaqeda ukuhlolwa komkhumbi ngo-Ephreli 4, 2021 futhi yakhipha isitifiketi esifanele esivumela umkhumbi ukuthi uthuthwe usuka eGreat Bitter Lake uye ePort Said, lapho uzohlolwa khona kabusha bese uqedela uhambo lwawo oluya eRotterdam.

"Okubaluleke kakhulu kithi ukuxazulula lesi simangalo ngendlela efanele nangokushesha ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umkhumbi kanye nempahla kuyakhululwa, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, amalungu abasebenzi abangu-25 abasemkhunjini asesekhona."

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwenyuka kwentengo okuhlehlisiwe kwePanama Canal kungenye yezindaba ezimbalwa ezinhle maduze.

Ngo-Ephreli 13, iPanama Canal Authority yakhipha isimemezelo esithi izimali zokubhukha ezokuthutha kanye nemali yezikhala zendali (imali yezikhala zendali) okwakuhlelelwe ukuthi inyuswe namuhla (Ephreli 15) izohlehliselwa ku-Implemented ngoJuni 1.

Mayelana nokuhlehliswa kokulungiswa kwemali, iPanama Canal Authority ichaze ukuthi lokhu kunganikeza izinkampani zokuthumela izimpahla isikhathi esengeziwe sokubhekana nokulungiswa kwemali.

Ngaphambilini, i-International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), i-Asian Shipowners Association (ASA) kanye ne-European Community Shipowners Association (ECSA) bakhiphe incwadi ngokuhlanganyela ngoMashi 17 bezwakalisa ukukhathazeka mayelana nezinga lokwenyuka kwezindleko zokukhokha.

Uphinde waveza ukuthi isikhathi sokuqala ukusebenza sika-Ephreli 15 sincane kakhulu, futhi imboni yokuthumela izimpahla ayikwazi ukwenza izinguquko ngesikhathi.
