Suez Canal
The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level
waterway which is 193km long between Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea and
Suez on the Red Sea.. It is divided into two parts in the north and south of
Bitter Lakes. The Canal allows the crossing of ships coming from Mediterranean
countries, Europe, and America to access Asia without taking the long road -
the Cape of Good Hope. It took 10
years to build the Suez Canal (1859-1869(. In 2010, the revenues of the Suez Canal reached
about 4.8 billion US dollars. The largest fees paid to ship for passing
through the Suez Canal were 2.000.028 dollars. An Italian cargo ship of 59
thousand tons capacity paid these fees. The ship passed through the Suez Canal
on September 7, 2011. The Suez Canal is the most important navigational course
in the world.It controls 40% of the movement of ships and containers in the
world. It also connects the countries of Southeast Asia, Europe, and the
Americas.
