The agency added that starting March 2012, the Canal’s authority would lift tolls by 3 percent for all vessels passing through the waterway, adding that for the past 3 years, tariffs had not been changed and the decision was taken based on studies on the global economy and trade.
It also said that revenue of the Suez Canal, which is an artificial sea-level waterway linking the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, was one of the country’s main sources of foreign currency.
