The Suez Canal which was built due to the reduction of the transit distance between the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean lies on one of the most important sea routes in the world. It has been rebuilt for several times just as ships have grown in size and capacity over the years. Suezmax ships are the maximum-sized tankers or container ships which can sail through the canal. Their deadweight is from 125 000 to 240 000 tons. Since its opening in 1869 it has been closed twice due to two war conflicts (the Suez Crisis and the Six-Day War). The closures influenced the direction of transport flows in sea transport and the size and capacity of ships.
