Turkey To Build $25 BILLION New Canal To Rival The Suez & Panama Canals
Canal Istanbul- Turkey To Build $25 BILLION New Canal To Rival The Suez & Panama Canals
Istanbul is a lively and diverse city straddling Europe and Asia, with its strategic location along the renowned Bosphorus strait. This strait links the Black Sea with the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, making it of utmost importance. However, Turkey is now seeking further strategic advantage, and is planning to construct another link. Turkey's leader recently announced the commencement of work on a colossal canal project which could completely bypass the Bosphorus Strait. So why is Turkey constructing another canal? And why is Turkey eager to spend a staggering $25 billion on this project? Today let’s delve into Turkey’s controversial plan to build a new canal.

    It will be a PPP project. That means that the government will not pay a dime for this construction. Private companies will built it- operate it- pay taxes- maintained it- and transfer it free of charge to the government after 15 years of operation. When this canal is built the government will say to the ships using the Bosporus strait that they will have to wait and limit the amount of ship passing. No ship would want to wait even if it is free so they will take this new route

      Dardanelles is wider and straighter than Bosphorus, although there is one narrow kink in the waterway.The minimum width of Bosphorus is 750 m, the minimum width of Dardanelles is 1.2 km. Also, whereas Bosphorus cuts right through the centre of Istanbul, there are no great cities on the shores of Dardanelles.

    Every few years people talk about how they're going to build a new canal to take away from the Suez. It sounds great. Shit. It would even be awesome for every party involved. But the reality is, the amount of people it takes to build. Something like this is calculated in hundreds and hundreds of deaths. There's a reason why all these countries use pows to build rail lines and dig mega projects. Just ask the people of Russia who built the canal for Stalin, and then it turns out the canal was like 5 ft too shallow....... All this sounds great but the reality is it's not simple

    It should be clear to see that Turkey was encouraged & probably helped to undertake this project in order to be a partner in BRICS+. As many BRICS+ members are developing canals like this all over the world to thwart US-NATO from blocking strategic shipping routes such as the Malaca Straits, (Thailand canal), the Panama canal alternatives include a southern and Northern canal system through South America and a canal through Mexico. Afgahanistan is building a massive canal that was started many years ago and has been restarted with the encouragement and aid of Russia. all these canals combined are probaly costing less than NATO costs in the Ukraine conflict, but will reap benefits for all concerned for at least a century. showing the difference between the Western Approach to acquiring short term gains for a few corporations & Oligarchs, at horrendous costs for all concerned and the BRICS+ approach of undertaking huge projects that will reap massive benefits for the long term, for all concerned.
