The Suez Canal Authority completed its planned phase to increase the Canal permissible draft to 66 feet in January 2010.
This enables the Canal to accommodate the following percentages of the fully loaded vessels:
• 62.6 % of the Tanker Fleet
• 96.8 % of the Bulk Carrier Fleet
• 100 % of the Container Ships & Other Ships
The Suez Canal Authority is running now a project to increase the depth of western channels of the Suez Canal from 48ft to 52 ft. This project will allow giant containerships heading south to pass through these channels and reduce its total transit time.
