Suez Canal Expansion Project

The Suez Canal Expansion Project involved widening and deepening sections of the canal in Egypt to allow larger ships to pass more efficiently. Completed in 2015, the project included digging a new parallel channel and improving navigation infrastructure, which increased the canal's capacity and reduced transit times. This upgrade helps global trade by allowing more ships to pass simultaneously, lowering costs, and reducing delays for international shipping routes between Europe, Asia, and Africa, while maintaining the canal as a vital link in global commerce.
