Built from scratch for Suez Canal Authority requirements — not adapted from a generic port tool. Supported SCA forms, IMDG references, ISPS notifications, and transit data checks — in one preparation workflow.
LIVE Built for SCA filing preparation. CanalClear validates supported transit data and generates a submission-ready package; direct authority submission is not implied. Source: SCA-01
What is SCNT tonnage? SCNT (Suez Canal Net Tonnage) is the SCA tonnage reference used in applicable transit fee calculations. Confirm the current SCA measurement instructions and tariff directly with the authority. CanalClear presents supported inputs for operator review; it does not determine the authority's final tonnage or charge. Source: SCA-01
How long does Suez Canal filing take? Suez Canal filing involves three sequential deadlines: ISPS security declarations at 72h, 48h, and 24h before arrival; the full SCA transit application lodged 24–48h before transit; and IMDG dangerous cargo notifications requiring additional lead time. CanalClear validates supported SCA data and prepares a submission-ready package; timing remains the operator's responsibility.
Manual filing is the norm. Spreadsheets, email chains, agents with no standardization. The SCA doesn't tolerate errors — and neither does the schedule.
Late submissions, wrong formats, and missing data can create operational risk. Confirm the current SCA instructions before submission.
The applicable SCA document set depends on the transit, vessel, cargo, and current authority instructions.
Security notification timing and required updates depend on the current SCA instructions. Confirm the applicable window before submission. Source: SCA-01
IMDG references and cargo classifications should be checked against the current applicable rules; authority review and acceptance remain external.
Upload your vessel data once. CanalClear handles the rest — from SCNT calculation to ISPS scheduling to PDF generation.
Import vessel particulars from supported sources where available, or add them manually. Saved data can be reused across selected transits.
Configured validation checks supported IMDG, vessel, tonnage, and security fields before operator submission.
Supported SCA documents can be generated as PDFs for operator review. Notification timing remains operator- and authority-controlled.
Suez workflow features are organized around the SCA references identified on the Regulatory Sources page.
Flags supported lithium-battery classifications for operator review against the applicable cargo reference.
Set your ETA and review the applicable notification timeline. Where enabled, CanalClear can help prepare reminders and package fields; operator submission and authority acceptance remain external.
View Notification Timeline →SCNT-based toll estimation and applicable tariff references are provided for review; final charges and any rebate depend on the authority and current tariff.
Northbound and southbound convoy preference can be included in package material for operator review.
Transit, crew, cargo, security, environmental, and tonnage package material can be prepared for operator review.
Supported beam, draft, and air-draft fields can be checked against configured references for operator review. Confirm current SCA limits before submission.
Suez workflows combine authority-specific transit, tonnage, security, and convoy information. Available capabilities are labeled on Authorities & Coverage.
Suez workflows can involve multiple authority-specific documents, tonnage, security, cargo, and convoy references. The applicable set varies by transit; review the current SCA instructions and the capability status before choosing a plan. Review current coverage: Authorities & Coverage →
