50 Ships on average pass through the suez canal per day. In the ~20 years that ships have been large enough to potentially block it, this has happened once. That's a roughly 1/365,000 chance of getting stuck. Even if we assume the risk is actually 10 times higher, that would only be a $27,000 premium - basically a rounding error compared to the $700,000 in tolls each ship already needs to pay.
