Fixing the recently damaged floating dock is not impossible, said the former member of the Suez Canal commission and former chairman of the Suez arsenal company of 12 years, Wael Kadour. He assured the process of fixing the dock will need a couple of months at most. Wael, also a navigation expert, said there is clear neglect from those who operate the dock. He said yesterday three ships were waiting in front of the dock and the engineer in charge let two ships enter the dock and left the third one waiting until the next morning. The dock will be filled with water from the control rooms and pumps. The dock is the second largest in the world and has a 55 ton lifting capacity and is 302 meters length. It dives 15 meters deep and is considered the most important dock in the Suez Canal set, Wael said. The dock achieved 90 million EGP (U.S. $15.1 million) in profit yesterday; its fixing process will cost 15 million EGP (U.S. $2.5 million) to be fixed in two months. In the same context, the sinking of the dock didn't happen by accident, but it happened because Suez Canal Company was exposed to serious financial and administrative violations, estimated at 17 million EGP (U.S. $2.8 million) in losses.
