You would think that part of the average transiting fee of $250k US would pay for some up keep.
19,000 vessels transited the Suez Canal last year x $250k = $4.75 billion, how much of that goes sideways into someone’s back pocket.

Yes quite a lot I would say. Apparently not leaving enough for contingency plans and equipment should this happen.
