The Egyptian Canal refers to the Nile Canal or the Suez Canal

Previously, because a freighter blocked the Suez Canal, it caused the world's **,After the incident, the Egyptian Suez Canal Authority decided to solve the blockage of the southern section of the Suez Canal, and to make the southern section of the Suez Canal navigable in both directions through the widening of the river. The project, which took about two years, would improve the efficiency of navigation by widening the river and ensure safety during the navigation process.

1. The "widening" plan of the Suez Canal On May 11, Egypt** approved the widening plan for the southern section of the North Suez Canal and other waterways. The entire plan covers more than 30 kilometers of the southern section of the Suez Canal, increasing the overall depth by 20 to 22 meters and widening the width by 40 meters on the existing basis. The main driver behind the rapid escalation of this plan is the "Ever Given" cargo ship that ran aground on the new channel of the Suez Canal on March 23 this year, because the cargo ship has been stranded in the Suez Canal for nearly half a month and has been difficult to rescue.

As a result, the navigable ability of the Suez Canal has been questioned by the world.

2. The role of the Suez Canal, which straddles the borders of Europe, Africa and Asia, is a world-famous navigation port, and a large part of Egypt's national income depends on this port every year, so it has to widen the channel to serve the navigation of passenger ships. With the rapid development of water transport, the Suez Canal also had to change the existing shortcomings and start dredging operations in the waterway area in order to expand the two-way navigation capacity.

The Suez Canal is currently one of the most geographically located navigable routes in the world, and is at the core of Asia, Africa and Europe. It is also the first choice for many cargo ships in route selection. Since the Suez Canal is an important part of Egypt's national revenue, and it is precisely because of the last cargo ship grounding problem that the navigable ability of the Suez Canal has been questioned by the world, in order to continue to extract more benefits from this canal, Egypt has to start widening the Suez Canal.

The reason why Egypt began to widen the Suez Canal must be because of the very big losses caused by the last cargo ship shelf, and I also saw the problems in it, which is a very important logistics hub for Egypt, so it must be widened.

Know, because doing so is good for their development and can facilitate exchanges.

Knowing, in order to enhance the stability of the ship, in order to increase the speed of the ship, to save time, this decision of theirs is very good, and it is very helpful to their economy.

The Suez Canal was paralyzed by a Japanese transport ship accident, and the suspension of operations for several days caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. The Suez Canal is the shortest shipping route to the Mediterranean Sea in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is also the most prosperous waterway, many countries rely on it for import and export, and if it is suspended for a day, it will have a huge impact on the world. In order to avoid the huge losses that had preceded it, Egypt began to widen the Suez Canal.

Because the Suez Canal is full of ships passing through every day, it was decided to widen the Suez Canal in order to solve the blockage in the southern part of the Suez Canal.

Actually,Suez Canal.

Its actual enterprises and national regions have increased many cross-river orders, and inevitably there will be a certain level of congestion, which is practically the same as in large cities, but why the Suez Canal is so famous is because because of this, there are two international channels in the world. The other is the Panama Canal.

As for why the Suez Canal is getting wider, but why the bets are the same? In fact, this is not only an increase in the number of ships, but also the reason for the passage of larger and larger ships through the canal.

So, in this canal incident, someone came to the conclusion: a group of Indians drove itTaiwan, ChinaPeople (regions) rented ships from Japan to transport Chinese toilet paper made from Indonesian pulp。The Egyptian-owned Suez Canal was stranded and blockaded to the United States as a deterrent to the United States.

Due to the provisions of the Sino-Iranian investment agreement on aircraft carriers, European daily necessities have been. However, this time, the Suez Canal was chartered by container ships from Taiwan, China.

Blocked. There are many factors. For example, we can see that the boat is speeding as it enters the canal.

The message mentions that the speed has exceeded 20 kilometers per hour. The ship is 210,000 tons, which has exceeded the canal's limit of 200,000 tons. The length of the boat far exceeded the width of the canal.

Once stranded, it will be difficult to adjust. The other biggest external reason is the harsh and windy weather in the Suez Canal.

Of course, the operators of the Suez Canal in Egypt are still thereDeveloping countriesPopulation growth rate.

Still growing rapidly (the Nile Delta is small, accommodating more than 100 million people, and inevitably has insufficient environmental carrying capacity), the country as a whole depends on revenues from the canal and remittances to the Gulf countries and tourist countries.

The country's infrastructure strength is much lower than that of the average developing country. As a result, the infrastructure capacity for the expansion of the canal will inevitably be reduced, and funding for the construction of the canal will inevitably be limited by the state.

Economically strong, the Suez Canal was recaptured from Britain and France, became a state-owned enterprise in the United States and the USSR, and was a symbol of the country。The sign is entirely a matter of national and national pride, so it is difficult for this canal to attract foreign capital to increase capital and widen the entire canal system. In reality, this is not the case.

If more powerful infrastructure forces can be introduced, such as expanding its width and depth to more than double and triple the current level, there will be less and less congestion in the future. Even for large ships, the ability to build and manage forces in large infrastructure.

Many things will also become easier and simpler, but this is almost impossible.

The difficulty of widening the Suez Canal is that it is necessary to first consider the water pollution in the upper and lower reaches of the Suez Canal, and secondly, to consider the manpower, material resources and costs of widening the Suez Canal, and to consider the design of widening the Suez Canal.

Widening the Suez Canal requires the use of specialized dredgers. This would cost a large amount of money to widen the canal. In addition, during the operation of dredgers, it will inevitably affect the passage of canal vessels, reduce the efficiency of vessel passage, and reduce the income of canal managers.

There are great difficulties, first of all, it requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources when developing, and it is also a very big problem in terms of funds, and it is also necessary to overcome some geographical environment and local terrain problems, which is not easy.

The difficulty should be how to widen the river, but it will not affect the safety of the surrounding dams, and now there are machines, which is still very convenient.

The project of widening the canal is particularly large, because the soil on both sides of the canal is particularly loose, so there will be a lot of risks in the process of widening the canal.

Suez Canal, Egypt.

The reason for the blockage was that a large cargo ship of Taiwan's Evergreen Shipping encountered strong winds and operational errors, which directly blocked the Suez Canal laterally, causing the entire canal to be blocked. The blockage of the Suez Canal caused serious damage to the Suez Canal management.

The Suez Canal, also known as the Suez Canal, was built and opened to navigation in 1869 and is a sea-level waterway that runs through the Suez Isthmus in Egypt and connects with the Mediterranean Sea.

With the Red Sea, it offers from Europe to the Indian Ocean.

and the nearest route to land near the western Pacific Ocean. It is one of the most frequently used routes in the world, and it is also the border between Asia and Africa, and is the main passage between Asia, Africa and Europe.

The canal runs north from Port Said to Suez City in the south, and excavates a tunnel north of Port Said into the Mediterranean Sea to the south of Suez. With the completion of the Suez Canal, the Great African Peninsula became the African continent, and Egypt straddled Asia and Africa, Southwest, Northeast Africa and Southern Europe.

of **busier.

The Suez Canal is of great value to Egypt's own economic development. The Suez Canal is the "lifeline" and "cash cow" of Egypt's economy. Ship tolls have been the four pillars of Egypt's foreign exchange earnings for many years, along with remittances, tourism and oil. Located in the northeast of Egypt, it is strategically important to connect the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

The Suez Canal ranks first among all international canals in terms of the number of ships passing through and the volume of freight, with oil going north and metals and their products going south being the most important. The main shipments to the north are ** and petroleum products, coal, ores and metals, timber, oilseeds and oilseed cakes, and grains. Cement, fertilizer, metal and grain are transported to the south, and 7% of the world's sea freight is through the Suez Canal.

1, the influence of the Nile River on Egyptian agriculture, ancient Egypt, the Nile River flooded regularly, after the river flooded, from the upper reaches of the Nile River to the downstream will bring a lot of fertile soil, when the Nile water recedes, these fertile soil is the greatest gift to the Egyptians, to put it simply, that is, without sprinkling fertilizer, you can grow a good farmer, raising this ancient civilization of thousands of years.

2. In terms of urban and population distribution, the distribution of major cities in Egypt is distributed on both sides of the Nile River Basin, as well as on the Mediterranean coast of the Red Sea, and most of the other places are deserts, without water sources, and cannot survive, which is also a long corridor of life for Egyptians!

3. In terms of the transportation of the Nile, it is also from the ancient pharaonic period, the pyramids were built, and many pharaoh temples were built, all of which were built with hard granite, and most of these stones were produced in the Aswan region of Egypt, where granite is abundant, and the same is true today, Egypt has a lot of granite imported to various countries in the world. The transport role of the Nile can be seen.

4, the water conservancy role of the Nile, first of all, the Nile River can irrigate farmland, so that the great Egyptian people, living by water, and then the most important thing is that in modern times, on the Nasser Lake of the Nile, an Aswan dam was built, and 84% of Egypt's current electricity is made up of this dam, however, it must be emphasized that the negative impact of the construction of this dam on the Egyptians is also huge. A large dam was built to flood the former place!At the same time, the fertile soil and sediment brought by the regular flooding of the Nile River in the past were mercilessly blocked by the dam, so that the soil downstream became barren.

In addition, the amount of water is smaller, and the sediment has accumulated, which has also reduced the scope of the surrounding oases, and desertification has occurred in some areas. The Suez Canal is of great value to Egypt's own economic development. According to statistics, about 10,000 ships from more than 100 countries and regions in the world pass through the canal every year.

The Middle East exports to Western Europe oil, 70 through the Suez Canal transport, the annual transport of goods through the Suez Canal accounted for 14 of the world's shipping**, in the world's artificial canals suitable for shipping, its use of the number of countries, the number of passing ships, the volume of freight, the Suez Canal among the best. The Suez Canal is the "lifeline" and "cash cow" of Egypt's economy. Ship tolls have been the four pillars of Egypt's foreign exchange earnings for many years, along with remittances, tourism and oil.

The canal now collects $2 million a day in foreign exchange for Egypt**. Ships crossing the canal pay tolls according to tonnage, and also pay fees such as water diversion fees and navigation beacons. In 1993, the canal generated revenues of $1.9 billion, and in 1994 revenues exceeded $2 billion.

The Suez Canal plays an irreplaceable role in the world's waterway transport industry, and its special geographical location makes it a major transportation artery that most countries have to pay attention to, and once the expansion is successful, the canal will make a more outstanding contribution to the growth of the world economy. Its economic status can be discussed in the following ways:

1.Because of the existence of the Suez Canal, the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa can be connected by waterway;

2.The volume of goods transported from the Suez Canal to the rest of the world each year is enormous;

3.The Suez Canal dramatically reduces the time and distance spent on the transportation of goods.

In order to facilitate transportation, many man-made rivers have been dug throughout history, and they continue to benefit various countries today. Many of the great creations in human history, like the Suez Canal, were finally completed through the hard work of working people. Living in the present era, it is all the more necessary to cherish these hard-won precious resources and rationally develop and protect them.

1. In the economic context of globalization connecting Europe, Asia and Africa, no country can stay out of it on its own, and the Suez Canal is an important guarantee for the realization of this economic sharing. The Panama Canal, which also bears the same name, also plays an important role in connecting the two places, shortening the distance between peoples. <>

Second, the large volume of freight is enough to see from the series of effects brought about by the blockage of the Suez Canal, how huge the transportation task it undertakes, this is a river that absolutely cannot be lost, and it is the key to the economic maintenance of many countries. Trying to avoid similar accidents is what Egypt is trying to do. <>

3. Reducing transportation costs It is unimaginable without the Suez Canal for waterway transportation, and the fleet has to bypass the entire African continent, which will bring a series of losses and risks that will increase dramatically. As the cost increases, the price of goods will also rise, resulting in a significant decrease in the competitiveness of imported goods. <>
