Recovery in the name of priority access
At present, companies are charging 4 million dollars for a ship, whereas earlier it used to cost 3 to 4 lakh dollars for ships to pass through this canal, but now heavy recovery is being done in the name of priority access. Earlier, there used to be an extra expenditure of two and a half to three lakh dollars on a fast-track slot, but these days the situation is such that the extra expenditure has increased to more than 4.25 lakh dollars.
