--All shipping will have to go around thru either the Suez Canal or thru the Panama Canal.
-- Suez route effectively more than doubles the travel time/at sea port-to-port than it is now.
-- Suez route puts ship and crews at risk of pirates as they pass Somalia (yes it's still a thing), or crazy-ass Muslims looking to make a statement.
--Panama route limits ship size: the larger container ships simply do not fit.
-- BOTH canal options also add queue time: ships dont pass upon arrival. They are put into a Queuing system based on arrival time and must anchor awaiting their turn....providing nothing bumps their slot.
--BOTH canal options introduce an additional level of danger and training required of ship crews.
Just thought I'd throw this short-list out there since few see it.
Interesting! Didn't think about all the additional complications of going through the canals, thanks. I guess we just need to start making things in America again and not worry about oversea shipping problems huh?
Time to start shifting port traffic away from California!
Ship to Florida instead!

Many additional problems with that though.
