About 50 ships transited the canal daily on average over the past week, with an average load of 2.8m tonnes per day, compared to an average of 46 ships two weeks prior with an average load of 2.6m tonnes.
The average load per ship was 56,553 tonnes, compared to 56,567 tons during the previous week.
