Egypt tests new extension of the Suez Canal ...Middle East

Two ships used the new extension on Saturday, a statement from the Suez Canal Authority said.

Vessels navigating the waterway have at times run aground, mostly because of strong winds and sandstorms.

The new extension is set to boost the canal’s capacity by six to eight vessels a day, Rabie said, and it will open after new navigational maps are issued.

The Suez Canal has long been a vital source of foreign currency for Egypt that has been undergoing its worst ever economic crisis.

Before the attacks pushed companies to change routes, the vital passage accounted for around 10 percent of global maritime trade.
