The Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority in Egypt, Osama Rabie, on Monday announced that a study is now underway into providing a 15 percent reduction in transit fees for some companies for a specific period.
During an interview with Ahmed Moussa’s TV show “Ala Massoulity” (On My Responsibility) on the privately-owned satellite channel Sada al- Balad, Rabie explained that this study aims to encourage more ships to use the Suez Canal.
Rabie anticipates the decision to be formally announced in the coming days following Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s approval.
He assured that the Suez Canal Authority is constantly working to achieve maximum economic benefit and enhance confidence in the global waterway.
The transit of any number of ships through the Suez Canal will be a boon for the Egyptian state, he said.
He added that 30 ships currently transit the canal daily for a global French shipping agency, indicating that the canal continues to operate despite regional tensions.
Rabie explained that international shipping companies are awaiting a return to calm in the Red Sea region so that ships can resume normal transit through the Suez Canal.
Jordan has requested the Suez Canal Company to manufacture a large launch for it, he said, noting that work on implementing this project is currently underway.
