How Warconomy uses this source

The canal operator's own navigation statistics — the authoritative resolution source for Suez transit counts. Warconomy has previously found this source intermittently inaccessible for direct automated reading (see /data-needs); figures are transcribed by hand when reachable and corroborated against IMF PortWatch where they diverge. Not fetched at runtime.
