Another ship of the same class as Ever Given, the OOCL Indonesia is due in Felixstowe tomorrow but currently waiting at the sunk, is shown as having travelled from Suez. Suez seems to be a holding point, presumably to wait passage through the canal. It, like Ever Given, originated in China. Edited August 5, 2021 by melmerby incorrect sentence order!

RMweb Premium younGGuns7 Posted August 5, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2021 Looking at the photo there seems to be very few containers on there. Biggest challenge is transport, we have a ship which docked yesterday and cannot get any deliveries before the 11th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It, like Ever Given, originated in China. Suez has both berthing and provides an anchorage area for ships which are waiting northbound passage through the canal. Presumably Ever Given is headed here and will receive further orders once it has cleared the canal? As for clearing cargo at Felixstowe I doubt anything will be in consignee's hands for a couple of weeks and possibly longer, especially if it is groupage traffic.
