Maersk, the worlds largest shipping company, says the Suez Canal blockage's economic fallout will continue into second half of May

Fallout from the Ever Given's time lodged in the Suez Canal will “ripple” through the economy for the next few weeks or months, according to Maersk, the world's biggest shipping company.
“We will see ripple effects continuing into the second half of May,” Lars Mikael Jensen, head of Maersk's Global Ocean Network, told The Financial Times.
The Ever Given, which is among the world”s largest container ships, was lodged in the canal for six days, effectively closing ons of the world”s most important trade routes.
The Ever Given was operated by the Taiwanbased shipping company Evergreen Group. The ship was freed on March 29. Maersk predicted knock-on effects from the blockage. In an updated press advisory posted on Thursday, the company said it was pleased to see that the queue waiting at the canal was rapidly diminishing.
“For each day that passes we are getting a clearer picture of what this incident means for our customers,” the company said.
Maersk said about 50 ships had been delayed for about a week because of the blockage. Some of those ships waited on either end of the canal, while others were redirected around the Cape of Good Hope.
The effects of those delays will be felt in ports around the world, the company said. Its advisory warned that delays may vary by location. Busy ports and terminals may not have berths for ships arriving outside their originally scheduled: windows. The company previously said shipping backlog may take months to unravel.
“Even when the canal gets reopened, the ripple effects on global capacity and equipment are significant and the blockage has already triggered a series of further disruptions and backlog in global shipping that could take weeks, possibly months,to unravel,” Maersk said in a statement back when the Ever Given was still lodged in the canal.
📘 Question
QUESTÃO
Which statementis true about the text?
Ever Given vessel operated by Evergreen group is the world's largest ever container ship.
In consequence of a six-day shipping backlog, ports all over the world would be as busy as ever.
The Canal blockage was over after six days and shipping lane has been freed ever since.
According to Maersk, as the six days went by, blockage effects on our customers” business were getting ever more evident.
The fact that Ever Given has run aground for six days would rarely, if ever, affect ships” schedule adversely.

🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
A questão pede a alternativa que apresenta uma afirmação verdadeira de acordo com o texto sobre o incidente do navio Ever Given no Canal de Suez.
A estratégia aqui é localizar três informações-chave no texto:
- tempo que o navio ficou preso;
- efeitos do bloqueio;
- informações factuais sobre o navio e as empresas.
🔍 2️⃣ Análise das alternativas
(A) ❌ Errada
O texto afirma apenas que o Ever Given está entre os maiores navios porta-contêineres do mundo:
“The Ever Given, which is among the world’s largest container ships.”
Não diz que é o maior de todos.
(B) ❌ Errada
O texto afirma que os efeitos dos atrasos seriam sentidos nos portos, mas não diz que ficariam “as busy as ever”.
Pelo contrário: menciona problemas logísticos e falta de vagas para atracação.
(C) ✅ Correta — GABARITO
O texto informa claramente:
“The Ever Given ... was lodged in the canal for six days.”
“The ship was freed on March 29.”
Ou seja:
- o bloqueio durou seis dias;
- depois disso o navio foi liberado.
Logo, a alternativa está de acordo com o texto.
(D) ❌ Errada
A alternativa distorce o texto. Maersk diz que os efeitos seriam percebidos nas semanas seguintes, não que ficaram mais evidentes a cada dia do bloqueio.
(E) ❌ Errada
O texto afirma exatamente o contrário:
os atrasos afetaram cerca de 50 navios e cronogramas globais.
🧠 3️⃣ Resumo B3GE™ Master
✔ Ever Given ficou preso 6 dias no Canal de Suez.
✔ O navio foi liberado em 29 de março.
✔ O bloqueio gerou atrasos e efeitos globais na logística.
✔ O texto não afirma que ele é o maior navio do mundo.
🔎 Gabarito confirmado: (C)
