Suez Canal: Vessels
built 622 days ago
Nineteen years since the Suez Canal had been opened, in 1888, nine powers signed a convention that guaranteed the free use of the canal. All vessels were permitted to use the canal in times of war and peace; its entrances were not to be blockaded; no permanent fortifications were to be erected on its banks; no belligerent warships must disembark troops or munitions at its ports or anywhere along the canal. If the Egyptians were incapable of defending the canal they were to appeal to Turkey for assistance, or through Turkey to each of the signatory powers.

The Suez Canal is run by a very professional team ( Head quarters in Ismailia ) under the SCA Rules of Navigation. These rules cover almost all the activities that a vessel may need prior and during transit.

Passing the Suez Canal has an important time and cost impact on a vessel's voyage. Exact planning, early notification, constant follow-up and real cost control are needed to save your time and money.
