Talk:Suez Canal

New section 'Obstructions'?
Would it be advisable to create a new section entitled 'Obstructions', or perhaps a subsection under the section 'History', and include the multiple obstructions including the most recent one (Affinity V)? Compusolus (talk) 01:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Timeline section
A lot of the timeline section is already covered in the history, and acts as a trivia list. I'm going to make a start with removing duplicated facts, integrating anything that's relevant and removing anything too tangential. Timtjtim (talk) 11:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've cut out things that are already part of the history, and I've moved the the three incidents to a new section.
 * The remaining two trivia items are:
 * 10 January 1950: Passenger tariffs are abolished.
 * 1 January 2008: New rules of navigation passed by the Suez Canal Authority came into force together with an increase of fees for transit of about 7.1%.
 * Neither of these seem especially important to me - I certainly wouldn't want us to start keeping track of every price increase! I think I'm going to remove these. Timtjtim (talk) 12:25, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh - the latter is part of Navigation anyway Timtjtim (talk) 12:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Red Sea crisis
Hello, this article doesn't mention the current Red Sea crisis, please add information about it. 190.99.107.218 (talk) 13:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Feel free to! Editors are always encouraged to be WP:BOLD! I'll note that the Suez Canal is only tangentially related to the crisis, so I don't think there's a huge amount to add! Timtjtim (talk) 17:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
