Suez Canal operations unaffected by civil strife, but risk grows
SUEZ Canal transits and port operations continue as normal, unaffected by the widespread rioting, but a higher level of caution is advised, reports GAC Hot Port News.
"In view of developing situation, subject to updates, GAC Egypt recommends suspending crew changes/spares delivery and other similar operations until further notice. Owners and operators with vessels at Egyptian ports are urged to take further protective measures in addition to standard safety procedures," its report said.
