Operational scope

## Suez Canal transit support

A Suez Canal transit depends on the vessel file, convoy planning and pilotage requirements being aligned before arrival. Max Marine coordinates the nomination, Suez Canal Authority documentation and PDA preparation before the vessel reaches the canal.

Support covers both approaches, Port Said in the north and Suez in the south. Current circulars, surcharges, rebate criteria and document requirements are reviewed against the vessel particulars before nomination.

After passage, Max Marine follows eligible rebate claims and closes the final disbursement account. Crew, stores and urgent spares can also be coordinated within the transit window.
