According to the 11th of Egyptian "Pyramid", Egyptian President Sessi approved the Suez Canal South Section Waterway Development Plan submitted by the Suez Canal Authority, which is expected to be completed within two years.
According to reports, Sussey and Suis Canal Authority Chairman Usama Rabiea attended the delivery ceremony of multiple projects in the northeast of Egypt. Sessi said in the ceremony that the freighter stranded in March this year highlights the importance of widening the southern section of the Soviet Canal.
How to broaden this time
Rabie said that the plan mainly covers about 30 kilometers of waterways from Suis Canal Suis to a large bitter lake, which will widen 40 meters before, and the maximum depth is from about 20 meters to about 22 meters. After the plan is completed, the Suez Canal South Section Channel has two-way communication and improves the canal's pass efficiency.
The Suez Canal is located in the junction of European, sub-, non-Three continents, connecting the Red Sea and Mediterranean, is the most important channel of Yario Trade.
On March 23 this year, the 20000TEU-level container ship "gave" round, stranded on the unidirectional channel in the south of the Suez Canal, resulting in two sides of the Suez Canal. After nearly 7 days of rescue, "Great Gift" is getting angry on March 29, but it has caused a large congestion of Asia and Europe, and global trade has been greatly affected.
Shortly after this, many ships were stranded on the Suez Canal, but fortunately did not cause serious impact.
The Suez Canal was founded in 1859, and it was completed and officially opened in 1869. The water surface width of the canal is between 345 meters to 280 meters, and the width of the channel for navigation is narrower, and the average width is only 130 meters.
The Suez Canal has recently expanded in 2015, including newly opened 35 kilometers, and broaden and deepened 37 km original river. After the expansion, the part of the Suez canal becomes two-way, but the southern part of the slightly bitter is still unidirectional. An accident has also exposed the risk of one-way traffic.
Broaden! Will the Suez Canal no longer "block"
I have repeated "broaden" in history.
In fact, after the excision, Suez broke several times.
When I was just completed in 1869, the river surface width of the Suez canal is approximately 160 meters to 200 meters. The bottom of the river is between 60 and 100 meters. At that time, the maximum navigation ability was 11.6 meters, and the air is 65,000 tons or full load. 150,000 tons of large ships.
This data has been maintained in the 1960s, during which during this period, due to the more frequent exchange of communication, coupled with the "Petroleum Center" in the Middle East, the Suez Canal became the most important route of the world. First, it is the main artery of the world economy
But over time, the Suez Canal has gradually showing "tired", especially in the end of the 1960s, because of the war, between Egypt and Israel, the two sides have buried a lot of bombs in the Suez Canal, And there is a large number of blown vessels and aircraft, the Suez River is also forced to close, and this is a few years. Egypt does not want to re-open in this middle, after all, can make a lot of money, but the cleanliness channel needs a lot of money, and Egypt can't afford this money.
Until 1974, the United States couldn't see it. Because the United States needs to ship oil from the Middle East, the Suez canal can't walk, the United States need more than one-quarter oil, but also a lot of time. Therefore, the United States has cast $ 200 million to clean the Suez Canal, but after cleaning, the Suez Canal faces a difficult incentive, so in 1976, the Egyptian government has broadening the canal. .
After five years of transformation, the river surface width of the Suez canal has been widen to 365 meters, with a depth of 16.16 meters, and the navigation capacity has also increased, which can be airized from 150,000 tons, full of 370,000 tons of large freighters.
In recent years, in order to adapt to the increasing "expansive" giant round, the Egyptian government has invested heavily in 2014, and the second parallel waterway is found between the Mubarak's Peace Bridge in the northern end and the large bitter lake in the middle of the canal. New Suez Canal.
However, the "New Suez Canal" does not solve the problem very well. The Suez Canal is a world, the terrain of the northern section is relatively flat, and the urban aggregation point is small, so there is a condition to build a new canal parallel to the old canal, thereby achieving the two-way passage of this river section.
But at the other end, between the Southern Suez, the southernmost Suez, still only the 19th century is available. This "long gift" is the card in this paragraph.
Broaden! Will the Suez Canal no longer "block"
Can you solve the problem of blocking?
For the Suez Canal, even if the difficulty is not small, the expansion is the helplessness after the lesson, and it is also a must. In recent years, in order to adapt to the giant freighters on the global route, whether it is the Suez Canal, or the Panama Canal and other channels, they have passed several times.
However, the expansion may not completely solve the risk of the traffic jacket. After all, the tonnage of the freighter is growing in the continuous expansion of the canal. Some experts said that the Suez Canal is a waterway parallel to sea level. It provides Egypt through the Suez region, communicating the Mediterranean and Red Sea, providing the most recent routes near the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific. Broaden the widening channel, the shipowner and carriers will be re-customized to the "top grid boat", which will cause a new round of ship to strand and block the canal. Therefore, it is not possible to turn to the river channel in order to solve the problem of traffic jam, trigger the construction of the shipowner and carrier without the construction of competition, which in turn causes a new round of channel obstruction.
On the other hand, even if the expansion is completed, the income of the huge amount of money is also a problem. At present, the navigation cost of the Suez canal has been as high as $ 300,000, which has made many ships that have suffering. If the re-widen is bound to bring higher navigation costs, the market is willing to pay for higher navigation payments, no Less shipers may choose to detour or other replacement routes.
Plus the river is one foot, the ship is high, even if the ship is widened, the ship is also giant, and the expansion is also a lot of worries.
In addition, the canal has also reached the bottleneck through the number of vessels. After the opening of the new Suez Canal in 2015, Egyptian officials have been optimistic. Up to 2023, the number of merchant ships via the canal will increase from 49 daily a day to 97. But the data shows that the number of more than 50 merchant ships currently per day may have reached a saturation state.
Experts pointed out that the number of vessels for shipping trade in the world is relatively fixed, and the fluctuation fluctuations and growth are not very large, the canal is widened or then built. The passage of the vessel will not follow the "water rises". .
