Egyptian authorities foil alleged Suez Canal plot to bomb the waterway
EGYPTIAN police arrested 13 Muslim Brotherhood suspects accused of installing explosives on beaches and in sanitation and electrical facilities along a 120-mile stretch of the Suez Canal, report United Press International.
An estimated 1,080,064 TEU go through the waterway every week, according to BlueWater Reporting's Capacity Report.
The average vessel is 9,147 TEU, though 2M Alliance's AE10/Silk and AE5/Albatross services, which operate in the Asia-Europe trade, have the biggest ships of between 18,270 and 18,196 TEU.
