Detailed explanation-1: -How long does it take to a vessel to transit the canal ? It takes 12 to 16 hours. How many days per year the canal is available for navigation ? The canal is available for navigation all over the year.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Suez Canal is a human-made waterway that cuts north-south across the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt. The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, making it the shortest maritime route to Asia from Europe. Since its completion in 1869, it has become one of the world’s most heavily used shipping lanes.
