    the canal charges a fee of around half a million I think

    EDIT: looks like the average was around $300k for 2020 , but it's size dependent so it's probably closer to half a mill for huge ships like this

      That's bizarre considering the panama canal costs at most 10 grand for the largest ships.

      edit: I'm wrong, and wow canal fess are fucking complicated holy shit.

        that conflicts with what I'm seeing on wikipedia :

        The most expensive regular toll for canal passage to date was charged on April 14, 2010 to the cruise ship Norwegian Pearl, which paid US$375,600. The average toll is around US$54,000.

          I think I was looking at the ship length fee, not the tonnage fee that's on top of the ship fee.

            I tried to look up the fee structure directly and wow is that shit complicated
