據3月27日Oil Now報道，歐洲最大保險公司--德國保險公司安聯（Allianz）在周五進行的一項研究顯示，阻塞蘇伊士運河的集裝箱船可能使全球貿易每周損失60億至100億美元。

這項研究還發現，每周停業將使年度貿易增長率降低約0.2至0.4個百分點。

該研究的作者寫道:“蘇伊士運河阻塞是對全球貿易的致命一擊。”。

“首先，自今年年初以來，供應商的交貨時間已經延長，而現在歐洲的交貨時間比新冠肺炎疫情高峰期還要長。"

該項研究稱，美國的交貨時間是原來的兩倍，因為庫存耗盡，人們預計大規模刺激計劃將提升需求。

蘇伊士運河于周五已經加緊努力解救被困的巨型集裝箱船，并結束了導致油輪運價飆升、全球供應鏈中斷的封鎖。

Suez Canal blockage estimated to cost $6 billion to $10 billion a week in lost trade

The container ship blocking the Suez Canal could cost global trade $6 billion to $10 billion a week, a study by German insurer Allianz showed on Friday.

The study by Europe’s biggest insurer also found that each week of immobilisation shaves some 0.2 to 0.4 percentage points off annual trade growth.

“The problem is that the Suez Canal blockage is the straw that breaks global trade’s back,” the study’s authors wrote.

“First, suppliers’ delivery times have lengthened since the start of the year and are now longer in Europe than during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The length of delivery times in the United States was twice as bad, the study said, as inventories are depleted on expectations that massive stimulus package will boost demand.

The Suez Canal stepped up efforts on Friday to free the giant stuck container ship and end a blockage that has sent shipping rates for fuel tankers soaring and disrupted global supply chains.
