05 Apr 2023 / Suez Canal, Egypt
Traffic navigation in the Suez Canal is normal today (5 April) and unaffected by yesterday’s limited collision between two tankers in the Great Lakes region.
The head of the Suez Canal Authority advised that the ‘friction’ occurred while a 65,000 DWT tanker was waiting at the anchor and another tanker with a tonnage of 44,000 tons was being readied to move from the anchor area within the waiting area WE1 in the Great Lakes. The increase in wind speed helped cause the friction.
The Authority's marine rescue team was immediately pushed to inspect the two tankers. The initial inspection indicated no significant damages or pollution in the vicinity of the two tankers.
The Suez Canal convoy for today is as follows:
- Southbound Convoy: 38 ships
- Northbound Convoy: 49 ships
