Since its opening to navigation in 1869, the Suez Canal has continued to expand to adapt to increased traffic and the size of ships. Around 18,000 ships pass through it each year, giants of the seas which can reach up to 400 meters in length and transport 240 million tonnes of goods. Using previously unseen 3D images, this documentary explains the operation of these sea vacuum cleaners which allowed the canal to go from 8 to 24 meters deep.
