    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
