Osama Rabie, Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), confirmed that navigation through the Suez Canal is operating normally in both directions, providing 24/7 services.
A total of 56 ships transited the canal today with a tonnage of 2.6 million tonnes—24 ships northbound (1 million tonnes) and 32 ships southbound (1.6 million tonnes). Over the past three days, 100 ships passed through, totalling 3.8 million tonnes.
Rabie noted that recent announcements by some major shipping lines to temporarily suspend transit are precautionary measures depending on regional security developments.
He stressed that the SCA is actively communicating with shipping companies to ensure smooth operations, support global trade, and maintain supply chain continuity.
He expressed hope that improvements in regional security will soon enhance navigation, reinforcing the canal’s vital role in international shipping.
