据天然气加工2021年3月29日伦敦报道，根据货物跟踪公司Kpler公布的统计数据，共有16艘装载液化天然气（LNG）的船只等待进入苏伊士运河，比上周五（3月26日）等待进入苏伊士运河的LNG运输船数目猛增了一倍，被困的“长赐号”巨型集装箱运输船在苏伊士运河搁浅近一周后在3月29日获释。
11艘LNG运输船在苏伊士运河北面入口处等候，5艘LNG运输船在南面入口处等候。Kpler说，由于拥堵，总共有18艘LNG运输船将晚点到达它们的目的地，大部分在亚洲。
除了LNG运输船，大约有450艘装载包括原油和石油产品在内的不同商品的货船等待通过苏伊士运河。
苏伊士运河管理局在一份声明中表示，这艘巨型集装箱运输船已阻塞苏伊士运河近一周，周一已完全浮上水面，苏伊士运河水路交通不久将恢复。
3月22日早间，这条长400米(430码)的“长赐号”集装箱运输船在运河的南部斜对地搁浅，使这条欧亚之间最短航线的水上交通也因此中断。

A total of 16 vessels carrying LNG were prepared to enter the Suez Canal, double the number from Friday, according to cargo tracking firm Kpler, as stranded container ship Ever Given was freed Eleven vessels were waiting at the northern entrance and five at the southern entrance. In all, 18 LNG tankers will be late to their destinations, mostly in Asia, due to the congestion, Kpler said.
Aside from LNG, there were about 450 cargo ships with different commodities waiting to pass.
The giant container ship blocking the canal for almost a week was fully floated The 400-metre (430-yard) long Ever Given became jammed diagonally across a southern section of the canal early last Tuesday, halting traffic on the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia.
