The Corinth Canal, an artificial canal in southern Greece, that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf, closed again on Tuesday for the resumption of the second phase of the large-scale restoration works to make it safe for navigation, the managing company said in an announcement.
The 130-year-old canal operated safely and without interruption throughout the summer, recording its best performance in the last 20 years, the Corinth Canal Company said. A total 6,001 vessels from 70 different countries navigated the canal from the day it reopened on 4 July 2022, until October 3.
The 32-million-euro restoration project is being carried out in two stages. The first involved the slope relief work and the cleaning of the canal year and the second of work to stabilize the base of the slopes.

Specialized crews of the Corinth Canal Company were demolishing unstable sections on the slopes of the Isthmus Canal over the weekend as part of a large-scale restoration work to make it safe for navigation again.
The 130-year-old canal closed at the beginning of 2021 after a landslide and re-opened in June 2022 until October 2022. After further safety measures, the canal reopened on June 1, 2023 but then closed again for restoration works.
The 32-million-euro project is being carried out in two stages. The first involved the slope relief work and the cleaning of the canal year and the second of work to stabilize the base of the slopes.
The canal is expected to reopen later this year.
