IKEA, Lenovo and many more businesses still have products stuck in the Suez Canal
宜家、联想等公司的产品仍滞留苏伊士运河
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.
尽管“长赐号”货轮已不再阻塞苏伊士运河,但是旷日持久的法律斗争才刚刚拉开帷幕。这艘集装箱船已被扣押数月。对于那些被迫忍受这场法律斗争的公司来说,危机还远未结束,它们希望能够拿回价值数亿美元的货物。
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,“长赐号”货轮阻塞苏伊士运河长达6天,宜家和联想等公司的产品也在这艘日本货轮上。英国自行车制造商 Pearson 1860和可穿戴毛毯制造商Snuggy UK等小一点的公司也有重要的订单货物滞留。
