Your perception of the size of the Suez Canal and its reality

Описание: In this interesting video we will tell you about the largest ships in the world that are allowed to pass through the Suez Canal. If you want to know more, join we.
The name of these tankers is Suezmax. Suezmax is a maritime term for the measurement of a ship that can pass through the Suez Canal when fully loaded and is used exclusively to refer to tankers that are allowed to enter the canal.
A Suezmax tanker is 285 meters long, 45 meters wide and 23 meters high. These tankers have a capacity to carry between 125,000 and 180,000 dwt of cargo, which is basically the maximum capacity of the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal has restrictions on depth, width and height (due to the presence of a bridge in the canal).
The Suez Canal is a waterway built in Egypt with specifications of 192 km, 56 meters wide and 24 meters deep, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. The Suez Canal was completed after a decade in 1869. It is located west of the Sinai Desert and northeast of Egypt. The Suez Canal was built as a shortcut for ships and boats traveling from ports in Europe and the United States to ports in Southeast Asia, East Africa, and the Pacific Ocean, so that they would not have to go around the African continent or transport cargo overland. The Suez Canal is the fastest shipping route between Europe and Asia, cutting the distance by 15 days. About 12 percent of all world maritime trade passes through the canal.
