47艘船本月改道苏伊士运河 初显地区稳定迹象
苏伊士运河管理局表示，自2月初以来，已有47艘船舶由好望角改道至苏伊士运河。
路透社报道，苏伊士运河管理局主席拉比（Osama Rabie）星期天（2月23日）还提到，尽管红海危机未形成对苏伊士运河的持续替代航线，但目前已出现地区稳定回归的积极信号。
自2023年11月以来，伊朗支持的胡塞武装对红海地区船只频繁发动袭击，迫使部分航运绕行非洲以避开苏伊士运河。这不仅导致全球航运中断，还推高了运输成本。
埃及总统塞西（Abdel Fattah al-Sisi）去年12月表示，这一危机已使2024年埃及的苏伊士运河收入减少约70亿美元（约93亿新元）。
