10 Jan 2018 / Suez Canal, Egypt
To encourage VLCCs on routing through Suez Canal rather than Cape of Good Hope route, Suez Canal Authority decided that circular No. 3/2016 concerning VLCC (of DWT more than 250,000 tons) that transit the Suez Canal after discharging part of their cargo in “SUMED” pipeline on their round trip coming from the Arabian Gulf heading to the American Gulf or the Caribbean zone, shall remain in force for an additional year ending on 31/12/2018.
VLCC is to pay a lump sum of USD 180,000 on her return ballast trip from North entrance (including extra charges levied for tugs, arrival after limit time and booking in the convoy).
