STORYLINE:
Chairman of Egypt's Suez Canal Authority (SCA) Osama Rabie said on Monday that the SCA will offer services to mitigate the impact of the ongoing tension in the Red Sea on ships passing through the region.
The SCA's companies and shipyards "are ready to cooperate with its agents by offering all necessary navigation, repair and maintenance services that transiting ships may need when encountering breakdowns or emergency situations," he said.
Rabie explained that repair work covers the ship's hull and damaged parts.
He added that the Suez Shipyard Company, which is affiliated to SCA, received Zografia, a 55,000-ton dry bulk carrier, for maintenance and repair.
The Greek-owned cargo ship Zografia was struck by a Houthi missile during its voyage through the Red Sea on Jan. 16.
