Controlled by Egypt's Suez Canal Authority. Connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, handling approximately 12% of global trade. Critical for European-Asian trade routes. Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have caused significant traffic diversions since late 2023, with many vessels opting for the longer Cape of Good Hope route.
