The total for a ship going through the Suez is $700,000? That’s a lot of money going down the drain... and there’s starting to be backups in the great bitter lake region...

...and serves as the most direct route for ships traveling between Europe, the Middle East and Asia. It typically sees an average of over 50 transits a day

They are not losing that much money, more like most of the money is delayed, kinda like the Stimulus check

they may lose some from ships that take the long way, but the ins co for Evergreen will compensate them for that

I have read that on multiple sources.

I was a bit surprised by that high of a toll.

I mean, that’s a whole lot of quarters to throw into that basket at the toll booth.

Does it have EZ Pass so it can just charge the account?

Are higher rates charged during rush hour?
