The owners and insurers of Ever Given, the massive cargo ship wedged in the Suez Canal for multiple days, may face a mountain of insurance claims, according to a new report.

The owners and insurers of the 1,300-foot-long ship could already be facing millions of dollars of insurance claims when the ship is eventually refloated, mainly due to the costs of the salvage?operation as well as the trail of global shipment delays caused by the blockade.

當(dāng)這艘1300英尺長(zhǎng)的船最終重新浮上水面時(shí)，船東和保險(xiǎn)公司可能已經(jīng)面臨數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元的保險(xiǎn)索賠，主要原因是救援行動(dòng)的成本，以及堵塞封鎖造成的全球貨運(yùn)一連串延遲。

周二，這艘20萬(wàn)噸載量的機(jī)動(dòng)船在蘇伊士航道行駛時(shí)偏離航線，官方將其歸咎于40節(jié)的強(qiáng)風(fēng)和沙塵暴。

Around 369 ships are stalled at either end. Egypt is losing some $12-14 million in revenue from the canal for each day it is closed.

大約有369艘船停在兩端。運(yùn)河每關(guān)閉一天，埃及就會(huì)損失1200萬(wàn)到1400萬(wàn)美元的收入。

The crisis has forced companies to choose between waiting or rerouting vessels around Africa, adding 9,000 kilometres (5,500 miles) and over a week to the trip between Asia and Europe, as well as vastly increased fuel costs.

危機(jī)迫使公司在等待和改道非洲之間做出選擇，增加了9000公里(5500英里)和超過一周的亞洲和歐洲之間的航行時(shí)間，以及大幅增加的燃料成本。

Each day of the blockade could be costing global trade some $6-10 billion, according to a study published by German insurer Allianz.

德國(guó)安聯(lián)保險(xiǎn)公司(Allianz)發(fā)表的一份研究報(bào)告顯示，封鎖每天可能會(huì)給全球貿(mào)易造成60億至100億美元的損失。

The report added that the ship was insured in the Japanese market and was likely insured for $100-140 million worth of machinery damage.

報(bào)道還披露，這艘船在日本市場(chǎng)投保，投保內(nèi)容可能是機(jī)械損壞投價(jià)值1億至1.4億美元的保險(xiǎn)。

Other ships will likely tag on insurance claims from the ship's insurer due to losses to goods on board, many being perishable, as well as delayed deliveries.

其他船舶由于船上貨物的損失，可能會(huì)向船舶保險(xiǎn)公司提出保險(xiǎn)索賠，其中許多是易腐爛的貨物，以及延遲交貨索賠。

"If you have a constant build-up of ships, there are massive supply chain issues," Marcus Baker, the global head of marine and cargo at insurance broker Marsh said.

保險(xiǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)公司Marsh海運(yùn)與貨運(yùn)全球主管馬庫(kù)斯?貝克(Marcus Baker)表示:“如果船舶不斷增加，就會(huì)出現(xiàn)大量供應(yīng)鏈問題。”

build-up??n.? ??1.逐步的增長(zhǎng)?a steady build-up of traffic in the evenings 晚間逐漸繁忙的交通；2.~ (to sth)（重要事情的）準(zhǔn)備期，準(zhǔn)備過程??the build-up to the President's visit 總統(tǒng)訪問前的準(zhǔn)備工作；3.宣揚(yáng)；鼓吹??The media has given the show a huge build-up. 傳媒為這次演出大加造勢(shì)。

And the jam is already creating rippling economic impacts, during a year full of supply-chain disasters, with Oil prices rising close to 4% on Wednesday, only 24 hours after the port was blocked.- YAHOO NEWS

在充滿供應(yīng)鏈災(zāi)難的一年里，這次擁堵已經(jīng)造成了一系列的經(jīng)濟(jì)影響。周三，在港口被封鎖24小時(shí)后，油價(jià)上漲了近4%。（雅虎新聞）
