Suez Canal:

The Suez Canal has played a very important role in transportation, the shipment of goods and trade. The management of the Canal today is fully Egyptian. It is operated completely by the SCA, the Suez Canal Authority. It is still widely used for transportation of goods and services. It is the first canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. It is the shorted link between the east and the west, making it a very important water route.

It is open for use day and night, and is in use extensively.
