The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) has extended its anchorage and waiting fee regime for vessels carrying out logistics operations in the southern Suez anchorage areas and bound for Adabiya Port, with the measure remaining in force until January 2027.
Under the extended arrangement, vessels will be charged US$0.05 per international gross ton per day for anchorage or stay while undertaking activities including crew changes, bunkering, repairs, maintenance and waiting operations.
The tariff framework was introduced and amended in November 2025 for vessels using SCA anchorage areas in the southern sector, bringing them in line with arrangements already applicable at waiting areas in Port Said, Lake Timsah and the Great Bitter Lakes.
A revised tariff structure introduced in January 2026 provided for charges of US$0.05 per gross ton per day for the first 10 days, US$0.10 from days 11 to 20, and US$0.30 for stays exceeding 20 days, subject to annual review.
The extension provides shipowners and operators with greater certainty over the costs associated with vessel waiting and logistics activities at the southern Suez anchorage and in connection with Adabiya Port.
