VITAL MARINE CANALS
8 narrow channels of vital importance
CAN YOU NAME ALL EIGHT ?

There are eight major maritime "bottlenecks", through which, much the world's shipping has to pass. Indeed, ships today are designed and built with these in mind (e.g. Panamax bulkcarriers and Suezmax tankers), to maximise the size of vessel able to pass through some of these vital ocean links.
