The Ubani Canal is a ship canal that links the Ovestan Sea to thePhasian Ocean across Negasi in southern Tharna. The total route is 816 km (507 mi) long, but it makes use of approximately 678 km (421 mi) of existing waterways, such as rivers and lakes. Although some of the waterways required dredging or other improvements, the canal system only relies on 138 km (86 mi) of "constructed" waterways. The canal's route involves elevation changes of some 626 m (2,054 ft) over its course, necessitating 25 locks on each of the upward and downward sides of the route. Despite its length, the Ubani Canal remains the only ship connection between the Ovestan Sea and Phasian Ocean.
History
Auresia decided to build a canal across present-day Negasi to link the Ovestan Sea to the Phasian Ocean after discovering how far inland they could go on the Babukar River. The river empties into Abavo Bay at the west end of the Tanga Maji Sea and is navigable for some distance inland.

Tolls
Canal usage tolls contribute significantly to the economy of Negasi, as do ancillary services, such as ships services. Tolls variy on the size of the vessel, with minimum tolls depending on the ship's rated capacity or its fully-loaded weight. In this manner, the ship's capacity determines its minimum toll charge while its loaded capacity determines its maximum toll charge.
