The Suez Canal Authority announced that it will extend discounts for various types of ships and tankers until the end of the year. This includes reductions for dry bulk cargo ships operating between Australia and northwestern Europe, as well as for ships operating in the Eastern Americas region, the Arabian Gulf, India, the Far East, and more. The discounts will also apply to LNG carriers and crude oil tankers operating between different regions.
The authority specified that the discounts will continue for specific routes and categories of ships, such as dry bulk ships in the South West African region and LNG carriers between the East Coast of the Americas and Asia. These discounts are set to take effect on July 1. This decision aims to support and incentivize shipping traffic through the Suez Canal.
In addition to the extension of discounts for various types of ships and tankers, the authority is also focused on streamlining its processes and operations. They are continuously working towards improving efficiency and customer service to ensure smooth operations for all vessels passing through the canal.
Overall, the Suez Canal Authority’s decision to extend discounts and improve operations reflects its commitment to facilitating global trade and maintaining the canal as a key maritime route for international shipping.
