| Abstract | ||
| Suez Canal, which is 193 kilometers, was established in November 1869, as this establishment remains the quickest and its remarkably effective direct sea route between two continents Europe and Asia. Suez Canal is one of the major canals worldwide. Additionally, it is a man-made canal that links the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. It is the longest waterway without locks in the entire world. In reality, it serves as a crucial global choke point. In transportation geography, the term "choke" is widely used to describe areas with limited circulation space that cannot be avoided. This indicates that any other alternative to a choke point requires the usage of a different route, both of which involve considerable expenses and delays. The canal, which permits ship travel in both directions, is drawing more shipping companies and shippers. Alternative trade routes do, however, exist, including the Cape of Goods Hope, Panama Canal, and the Northern Sea Route (NSR). As a result, the Egyptian government established a master plan to develop the Suez Canal into one of the top logistics hubs in the world. The purpose of this research is to provide evidence that the development of A Suez Canal Logistics Hub will have a major effect on the international maritime network. The researcher highlighted the strategic importance of the Suez Canal as it saves more expenses and time than using the Cape of Goods Hope route. In addition, a comparative analysis has been conducted between Suez Canal and Panama Canal. | ||
