Not only Suez but also Panama, the ``Two Grand Canals'', key points in global logistics, are in crisis. The reason for the restrictions is severe water shortages.
A huge amount of water is required to pass through this canal, but due to the effects of climate change, the canal is facing record water shortages that are said to be the worst in the past 100 years. The Panama Canal uses large amounts of water to lift and lower ships. Each time a ship passes through the canal, approximately 190 million liters of water are required.
