The paralyzing effect of the Suez Canal, which transits some 15 percent of the world's shipping traffic is becoming clearer by the day.
The ship blocking the waterway has been hindering global shipping and trade since last Tuesday.
Kim Hyo-sun reports.
Egypt is reportedly losing 12 to 14 million U.S. dollars in revenue each day from the Suez Canal as one of the world's busiest waterways remains blocked.
Explaining that this is just an estimate,... the head of the Suez Canal Authority added no clear timetable can be given for when the 400-meter-long 'Ever Given,'... the ship wedged diagonally across the southern section, can be finally moved.

"We can't give an estimated time to solve this problem. As I said it's a cargo ship with a heavy load, and in shallow water depth. As I said we don't know - with the pulling and pushing and the drilling process - we don't know how the ship will behave."

The authorities also explained that some cargo may be unloaded if continued efforts to free the ship are unsuccessful.
Adding that nearly 370 vessels are waiting to transit the canal,... they also said discounts may be provided for affected vessels.
The paralyzing effect is becoming clearer as nearby Syria has imposed fuel rationing to safeguard its dwindling oil supplies.
Syrian authorities say the blockage has hindered oil supplies to the country,... delaying the arrival of an oil tanker.
Out of the millions of tons of cargo currently backed up in the Suez Canal,... none are more delicate than the animals crammed into several vessels.
According to Bloomberg, as many as 14 vessels could be carrying thousands of livestock,... many being sheep.
To this end, Egyptian authorities have dispatched veterinarians,... saying three teams were sent as of Sunday.
