The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea and carries around 12% of global trade. Ships move through in scheduled convoys, so daily transit totals are the most useful measure of activity.
How transits are counted
The monitored zone runs from Port Said to Suez and includes the Great Bitter Lake anchorages. A transit is counted when a ship enters from one sea and leaves into the other; convoy waiting time inside the canal is allowed for, and ships that stay far longer than a normal passage are excluded from the statistics.
