Title: Canals?
Post by: Guinness on July 07, 2008, 08:09:07 AM
I'm looking for particulars on the various active canals at the moment. As a starting point, I've been searching for a while, and found this:

So in Europe, we have a French built and operated Suez Canal (yes?).

In the Americas, we have the New Beleriand canal, built by a consortium led by Rohan, of which the CSA among others, was a member, and the Darien Canal, built by Gran Columbia.

Is there also a third?

I'm also interested in the particulars, like current costs (to me of course, but others probably want to know too), transit time, etc. if anyone has all that data.

Thanks!

The Baltic confederation operates the "Kieler channel which is being widened and deepened at the moment.

Suez is a French operation, that's correct.

There are three central American canals, from north to south:

-New Beleriand (Rohan + New Switzerland, DKB) (~historical hypothetical Lake Nicaragua route)

-Grand Canal (France + Russia, CSA, UNK)

-Darien Canal (Gran Colombia) (~historical Panama Canal)

CSA had contributed to the Grand Canal, I think - check the older CSA sim reports to see if Carthaginian had done so.  In that case, you've probably got free transit rights there.

The CSA 1/1907 and 2/1907 reports had this:

1.5 Share - New Beleriand Canal - $18.75

Guess my memory was off, but that makes more sense than being part of the Grand Canal - CSA and Rohan are cozy, and that's the most northerly canal - closest to your ports, and furthest from mine.
