Passage Planning Guide - Suez Canal: 2025-2026 [paper]

Passage Planning Guide – Suez Canal

The most comprehensive operational and navigational guide to the Suez Canal.

The goal for Ship Operators, Masters and the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), is that vessels arrive fully prepared to transit and with no unnecessary delays. This Guide will help operators achieve that goal.

Provides emphasis on:

• The documentary submissions required by the Master
• the operational aspects of a transit of the Suez Canal
• familiarisation and awareness with the various stages of the transit including the navigational elements and available contingencies.

Shipmasters are aware that a canal transit means a very long day and there are any number of potentials for stress, surprise and unexpected or unannounced occurrences. This book is the best available tool to prepare the Master and their officers for a successful transit, by instilling in them the knowledge and confidence necessary for proper preparation and the high level of situational awareness and readiness required for each stage of the transit.
