- Summary:
- This booklet presents general information and statistics comparing the Panama Canal with the Suez Canal. Although the Suez Canal has been closed since June 6, 1967, this waterway is frequently compared to the Panama Canal. The two canals differ significantly. The Suez is a sea-level canal in an arid region where blowing sand is an operational problem. Panama is a lock-type canal through a humid, mountainous rain forest. Suez was realized by private enterprise, while the Panama Canal was a United States accomplishment. All data in this report are based on the best sources of information available, and are considered reasonably accurate.
