The Suez Canal Economic Zone has announced the arrival of the first green fuel container ship in the world.

The ship was received by East Port Said in the first voyage of the ship, belonging to the shipping line Maersk, to an Egyptian port overlooking the eastern Mediterranean. The ship is coming from Asia, passing by Africa, through Egypt, and then on to Europe.
