Suez Canal Ship Crossing Video I Suez Canal History I Suez Canal Facts

#Suezcanal #Shipcanal #Canal
Crossing the magnificent Suez Canal is in bucket list of many travellers. Seafarers are lucky in that way as they have the privilege of witnessing the Suez canal ship crossing and experiencing Egypt on one side and the Sinai Peninsula on other.

With the rise of new Europe and the development of industry and seaborne trade, entrepreneurs began to think of building canals. One such plan aimed at connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Ocean directly, thus saving time either to sail around Africa or transhipping freight or passengers across the Suez Peninsula. The next attempt to build a canal in the area occurred in the mid-1800s when a French diplomat and engineer, Ferdinand de Lesseps, convinced the Egyptian viceroy Said Pasha to support the building of a canal. In 1858, the Universal Suez Ship Canal Company (La Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez)was formed and given the right to begin construction of the canal and operate it for 99 years, after which time, the Egyptian government would take over control of the canal.

The history of the Suez Canal dates back to around 40 centuries as the idea of linking the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Sea emerged during the period of the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. The concept of a canal that connects these seas and the Nile River lasted until the construction of the first canal in the area, linking both the seas through Nile River under the reign of Senausret III, Pharao of Egypt (1887-1849 BC). However, the canal was often abandoned during many years following the construction.

The canal remains as a significant transport link between the Mediterranean and Red Seas, allowing the international ships to avoid the difficult voyage around the southern tip of Africa. The world longest canal without a lock, according to the Suez Canal Authority, expects to raise the daily average of travelling vessels to 97 ships ad revenue of $ 13.226 billion by the year 2023.

Thanks for the great information. Roughly the suez canal is 200 km long and 200 meters wide and takes around 15 hours to travel. Total travel time for ships from India to reach Europe takes 20 days due to suez canal, which other wise would take 43 days, saving 23 days and 7000 kms,
