Good news for dry bulk vessels using the Suez Canal

Good news for Dry Bulk Vessels…

To promote the transit of Dry Bulk Vessels through the Suez Canal, the authorities have made the following decisions in Circular 9/2023:

🚢 Dry Bulk Vessels (both laden and ballast) operating between Egyptian Ports on the Red Sea and ports in South-West Africa will be eligible for substantial rebates on Suez Canal tolls.

• Ports in Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria will receive a rebate of 20% on the Suez Canal’s normal tolls.
• Ports in Cameroon and its Southern ports will enjoy a rebate of 45% on the Suez Canal’s normal tolls.

This applies to vessels sailing from the ‘Origin Port’ starting from the 1st of November 2023 until the 30th of June 2024. Please note that the last permissible sailing date from the ‘Origin Port’ is the 30th of June 2024.

For complete details and conditions, please see Circular 9/2023.
