Traffic jam eases further in Suez Canal after ship unblocked

苏伊士运河通航后,交通阻塞进一步缓解。

On Monday, salvage teams freed the skyscraper-sized Ever Given, ending a crisis that had clogged one of the world’s most vital waterways and halted billions of dollars a day in maritime commerce.

周一,救援队伍解救了摩天大楼大小的施恩号,结束了一场危机。这场危机堵塞了世界上最重要的水道之一,每天造成数十亿美元的海上贸易停滞。

The blockage forced some ships to take the long, alternate route around the Cape of Good Hope at Africa’s southern tip — a 5,000-kilometer (3,100-mile) detour that costs ships hundreds of thousands of dollars in fuel and other costs.

封锁迫使一些船只绕道前往非洲最南端的好望角,这条路长达5000公里(3100英里),船只要花费成千上万美元的燃料和其他费用。
