苏伊士运河复航

Suez Canal traffic resumed

The traffic in Suez Canal resumed after massive container ship Ever Given has been successfully refloated as being stranded in the canal for almost a week, Egypt's Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said on Monday.

3月29日，埃及苏伊士运河管理局表示，在大型集装箱船“长赐号”搁浅近一周后，苏伊士运河恢复通行。

The ship will undergo three days technical check before receiving the certification of moving to its original destination in Rotterdam

埃及表示，将扩大运河容量，并将购买更大的设备，以避免类似危机在未来重现。

Linking the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, the Suez Canal is a major lifeline for global seaborne trade since it allows ships to travel between Europe and South Asia without navigating around Africa, thereby reducing the sea voyage distance between Europe and India by about 7,000 km.

苏伊士运河连接地中海和红海，是全球海运贸易的重要生命线。它得以让船只在欧洲和南亚之间直航，无需绕道非洲，从而使欧洲和印度之间的海上航行距离缩短了约7000公里。
