IKEA, Lenovo and many more businesses still have products stuck in the Suez Canal
宜家、聯想等公司的產品仍滯留蘇伊士運河
The Ever Given is no longer blocking the Suez Canal, but the crisis is far from over for companies forced to endure a protracted legal battle in hopes of recovering goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars that have been stuck on the impounded container ship for months.
盡管“長賜號”貨輪已不再阻塞蘇伊士運河,但是曠日持久的法律斗爭才剛剛拉開帷幕。這艘集裝箱船已被扣押數月。對于那些被迫忍受這場法律斗爭的公司來說,危機還遠未結束,它們希望能夠拿回價值數億美元的貨物。
IKEA and Lenovo are among the companies with products stuck on the Japanese-owned vessel that blocked the Suez Canal for six days in March. Smaller firms such as UK bicycle maker Pearson 1860 and Snuggy UK, which makes wearable blankets also have vital orders stuck in limbo.
今年3月,“長賜號”貨輪阻塞蘇伊士運河長達6天,宜家和聯想等公司的產品也在這艘日本貨輪上。英國自行車制造商 Pearson 1860和可穿戴毛毯制造商Snuggy UK等小一點的公司也有重要的訂單貨物滯留。
