I'm clearly out of touch with shipping routes from the Gulf. On the news they described the route of the tanker fully loaded from Iran as
'taking the long route around the Cape of Good Hope instead of going through the Suez Canal.'
I'm just curious because I did that route a number of times, because a tanker of that size fully loaded was just too big for Suez. Have they improved the canal that much since my day ? … if so … fair enough.
Appreciate any info about what Suez can take these days.
