Suez Canal completes expansion to enhance traffic flow

Traffic through Egypt’s Suez Canal has nearly come to a standstill over the past year. However, the Suez Canal Authority recently completed a successful test of a new expansion.

The project adds a ten-kilometer stretch of two-way traffic at the canal’s southern end, significantly enhancing its capabilities, according to DynaLiners.

Once vessel owners and operators resume routing their ships through the Suez Canal, this upgrade will enable the vital global trade artery to accommodate an additional six to eight ships per day.
