Izinkampani ezinkulu ezine zemikhumbi zimemezele ukumiswa kokuhamba ngemikhumbi oLwandle Olubomvu, kanti iSuez Canal, “umthambo oyinhloko” wokuthutha ngemikhumbi, isengozini yokuvalwa.

Muva nje, ukungezwani eduze noLwandle Olubomvu kuyakhula, futhi ukuhlaselwa okuningi kube yinselele enkulu embonini yemikhumbi yamazwe ngamazwe. Njengoba amabutho aseHouthi eYemen ehlasele ngokuphindaphindiwe imikhumbi yabathengisi edlula oLwandle Olubomvu, izingozi zokuthutha eLwandle Olubomvu ziye zanda, okuye kwaba nomthelela omkhulu embonini yemikhumbi yomhlaba wonke.

AmaHouthi aphonse imicibisholo emibili ebukhali ngesikhathi sokuhlasela, enye yayo yashaya umkhumbi wezitsha onamafulegi aseLiberia i-“Palatium 3″”. Omunye umkhumbi, i-Alanya, nawo waphoqeleka ukuba ujike uye eningizimu ngaphansi kosongo lwamabutho ahlomile aseHouthi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, idrone yamaHouthi yashaya omunye umkhumbi, iJasra, eBab el-Mandeb Strait eningizimu yoLwandle Olubomvu. Lokhu kuhlasela kulethe izingozi ezinkulu zokuphepha ekuthuthweni kwemikhumbi oLwandle Olubomvu.

Njengoba ingozi yokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi oLwandle Olubomvu ikhula, izinkampani ezine kwezinhlanu ezinkulu kakhulu emhlabeni ezithwala amakhonteyina (ezinomthamo wokuthunyelwa ohlangene odlula u-54% womthamo wokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi emhlabeni) zimemezele ukumiswa ngokuphelele kwethrafikhi eLwandle Olubomvu. Lesi sinqumo sinomthelela omkhulu embonini yokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi yomhlaba wonke, ngoba iSuez Canal ingenye yezindlela zokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi ezinkulu emhlabeni futhi ithwala inani elikhulu lokuthuthwa kwemithwalo emhlabeni wonke. Ngokuvamile, kuthatha cishe izinsuku eziyi-12 ukuthi umkhumbi wemithwalo uhambe usuka eSuez Canal uye emazweni aseMedithera ngesivinini esingamafindo ayi-12, kuyilapho kuthatha izinsuku ezingama-41 ukuzungeza iCape of Good Hope eNingizimu Afrika, okunezela cishe amakhilomitha ayi-10,000 ohambweni. Uma iSuez Canal “imiswa”, izoba nomthelela omkhulu ekuhwebeni komhlaba kanye nokuthutha.

Ngenxa yokwanda kwengozi yokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi oLwandle Olubomvu, imikhiqizo yethu ayikwazi ukuthuthwa ngendlela evamile ngeSuez Canal futhi idinga ukuqondiswa eduze kweCape of Good Hope e-Afrika. Lesi sigameko sithinte ukuthunyelwa kwemikhiqizo yethu, njengei-miniature circuit breaker I-MCB , i-circuit breaker yekesi ebunjiwe I-MCCB , I-air circuit breaker I-ACB,ISIXHUMANISI SE-AC , Ukushintsha okuzenzakalelayo kokudlulisa I-ATSNgakho-ke uma ufuna ukuthenga imikhiqizo ye-voltage ephansi (i-MCB, i-MCCB, i-ACB, i-ATS, i-AC CONTACTOR,I-SPD...), kufanele wenze uhlelo lwakho lokuthenga kusenesikhathi.

Kodwa-ke, sikholelwa ukuthi lokhu kuyinkinga yesikhashana nje. Sithemba ukuthi umphakathi womhlaba wonke uzosebenzisana ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha koLwandle Olubomvu nokubuyisela isimo esijwayelekile eziteshini zethu zokuthumela. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, sizonaka kakhulu intuthuko yalesi simo futhi silondoloze ukuxhumana okuseduze namakhasimende ethu kanye nabalingani bethu ukuze sizame konke okusemandleni ethu ukunciphisa umthelela walesi sigameko ebhizinisini lethu.

Lesi sigameko siphinde sisikhumbuze ngokubaluleka kokuphepha kokuthunyelwa kwezimpahla. Sizonaka kakhulu ukuphepha kwezokuthutha kanye nezokuthutha futhi sithathe izinyathelo ezengeziwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imikhiqizo yethu ingalethwa kumakhasimende ngokuphephile nangesikhathi.
