The Panama and Suez canals are good candidates.
These ships can't use the Suez canal which can be problematic
Or maybe the water level in suez canal has depleted enough that it no longer allows smooth pass through of these giant ships.
maybe you shouldn't be allowed to take a ship whose length is close to 100% of the width of the canal through the canal, i dunno
The wording of the citation makes it seem like there are vessels traveling along this canal.
these are not rivers, they are canals
Pretty tough to pass through the suez canal without going through a few nations' territorial waters
Interesting. If I see correctly on https://www.vesselfinder.com/ there are three big ships going into the canal north to south now. Seems a bit inefficient! To speak in TCP terms, they should increase their window size!
TIL about the Welland Canal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welland_Canal
easier to just strand a few chinese cargo ships in a few canals
