The Suez Canal is almost 193 kilometers long and through this Canal we have the largest Marine traffic through which many oil tankers will pass between Asia and Europe. In worlds economy every year almost 12 percent business is done through this Canal only. Every day almost 10 lakhs barrels of oil is transmitted.
