    I live in Haifa, a port city not geographically far from Suez Canal.
    During this whole deal there was an unusually high number of vessels that could be seen at the port, and as far as I understand it some of them were probably ships heading towards the canal that just preferred to stay by our port and not depart until the traffic jam in Suez lifts.
    Definitely quite a memorable experience, never saw so many vessels in our port at the same time

      If you heard, while in the canal, two, essentially “canal captains” go aboard. They work for the canal and go aboard ships crossing it. They tell the ships crew basically what to do in terms of navigation. It’s usually their say over the normal captain while in the canal. Anyways, they were the ones on the ship that day. I doubt the ships regular captain was fired.
