Suez Canal still open for business

Unaffected by the unrest in Egypt, transits and the movement of vessels are still continuing at the Suez Canal. Port operations are continuing, with some possible delays and congestion of stacking areas at container terminals, despite strikes by workers at some companies in the Suez Canal zone. Break bulk operations are only permitted for non-direct delivery cargo, and discharge operations are slow. A daily curfew is still in effect, although this has been relaxed and is now in place from 8pm till 6am the following morning, local time.
