How long does it take a ship to transit the canal?
Posted on Aug 16, 2025 / Travel
A typical one-way transit takes about 8 to 10 hours, not including any queue time. Duration depends on vessel size, traffic, and scheduling. Ships are assigned transit slots and must take a local pilot on board. Weather and lake levels can affect timing and daily throughput. Most commercial vessels complete the passage within a day. Efficient planning helps minimize delays and maximize canal capacity.
