Knowing nothing about it, would it be safe to assume that the Suez Canal would always have a dredger around? Or is that not how that works?

I assume it's the same kind of luck that places gas stations near motorways.

Yeah, they have dredgers around for maintenance of the canal. This clip was from at least 6 months ago. https://youtu.be/P6st0k7KJmk

From the YouTube clip, it def seems like it's normal to see them when passing through the canal.
