Yes, and as a full-scale Ship canal- not something for narrow-gauge ( in comparison) Barges, such as the Erie Canal and others which used draft animals- often Mules- Draft animals in both senses ( ask the Army?) The Suez Canal does not have locks- it did= may still have movable bridges for personnel to access the gates- and for traffic control ( like toll gates on turnpikes) but in operation, ships run under their own power- a Canal Pilot has the Conn- giving the steering orders- and so it goes- no locks needed as it is a sea-level canal.
