The canal is 195 km (121 miles) long and 300 meters wide. It can accommodate large ships of up to 150,000 tons fully loaded. It takes only 15 hours on average for a ship to traverse the canal from start to end.
The British opposed its construction in late 1861. It was officially opened in November 17, 1869.
