class
The lock chambers are 305 m long and 33.5 m wide, and the
max. depth of the canal is 12.5 - 13.7 m. The canal is about 86
km long, and passage takes about eight hours.
The existing canal has two lanes (two set of locks) and ships are
positioned in the locks by a special electrical driven locomotive.
The canal was inaugurated in 1914 and its dimensions were
based on the Titanic (sunk 1912) which was the largest ship of
that time.

Therefore, in some cases it could be of

higher mark number of the engine or to
