Abstract

One of the world’s busiest shipping routes, the Suez Canal provides a vital link for ships traveling between Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Congestion in the Suez Canal can have a significant impact on global trade. The blockage of the canal would most notably hit the industrial and supply chains between Central Europe. In light of the massive losses and impacts caused by the current Suez Canal blockage, this paper investigates the reasons for the grounding of ‘Ever Given’ and divides them into geographical and human factors. Second, it analyzes this incident's direct and indirect impact on the supply chain and proposes some strategies for dealing with the same incident, such as developing emergency plans, constructing information logistics systems, and promoting multimodal transportation.
