Încă o lovitură pentru „flota din umbră” a Rusiei? Autoritățile egiptene înăspresc regulile de tranzit prin Canalul Suez

The Suez Canal, opened in 1869, connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and is crucial for global trade. New regulations require technical inspections for vessels over 25 years old, impacting Russia's aging fleet. This could complicate Russian oil shipments to Asia, as many of their tankers are older and may face delays or increased costs due to inspections. The authority has not disclosed inspection costs or duration. Despite sanctions, Russian oil exports have shifted towards Asia, with the Suez Canal remaining a key route. The aging global fleet continues to grow, raising concerns about maritime safety and compliance.
