Egypt announces successful trial run of new Suez Canal channel extension 

Egypt has announced that it had successfully tested a new 10-kilometre channel near the southern end of the Suez Canal, even as its revenue from the waterway has plunged since Yemen’s Houthis began attacking vessels in the Red Sea linked to Israel. The attacks are said to be in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. The Suez Canal Authority said that, during a trial run, two ships passed through a new stretch of the Canal’s two-way section without incident. 
 
According to the Authority, the latest expansion extends the total length of the Canal’s two-way section from 72 to 82 km. The Canal is 193 km long in total. This expansion will boost its capacity by an additional 6 to 8 ships daily and enhance its ability to handle potential emergencies, explained the Authority, as per a report.
