The Corinth Canal in Greece reopened to shipping on Wednesday, concluding over six months of repair work necessitated by landslides and rockfalls. Closed since mid-November 2025, the vital waterway—which bisects the Peloponnese peninsula—had been impassable due to instability along its steep slopes. Repair efforts focused on stabilizing the canal’s walls and clearing debris caused by the landslides. The reopening is expected to significantly ease maritime traffic, offering a crucial alternative to the longer voyage around the Peloponnese. Officials confirmed the canal resumed operations slightly ahead of the projected schedule. The canal’s closure had impacted shipping routes and regional trade, making its restoration a priority.
