    When you see *Evergreen, Maersk, or Cosco* on the side of the ship, please remember that is the name of the shipping line, not the ship. The ship's name is in smaller letters on the stern and either side of the bow. Ever Given is the ship's name. All the shipping line's ship's names follow the pattern of Ever and something.

      Does that take into account all the ships that will keep turning up every day? It's not just the ships waiting, its every ship that will keep turning up that has to use the canal. Livestock and fresh produce can't take a lengthy diversion.

    • @mohdhalmymdyusoff5836
      @mohdhalmymdyusoff5836 3 года назад +3

      2-3 week is true to return to normal. All stranded ships will reach their destination in 1-2 weeks times (including in Far East); the sudden influx of cargo at these ports requires more logistics (trucks, crane & warehouse + authority + customs) . Then another few days to have the recycle containers (there are shortage of containers globally now) ... before manufacturer can load their goods for the next shipment. So technically, the backlog at the manufacturer warehouse will take 2-3 week to return to normal and the factory will operate back to normal.
