Advantages
of the Suez Canal
- It is the longest canal in the world without locks.
- The accidents are almost nil compared with other waterways.
- Navigation goes day and night.
- The Canal is liable to be widened and deepened when required, to cope with the development in ship sizes and tonnages.
- With the adoption of the Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) ( a system depending upon the most up-to-date radar network), vessels can be monitored and followed on every spot of the Canal and intervention in emergency cases can be taken.
- The
Suez Canal accommodates the partially loaded VLCCs and ULCCs .
