The income is over a fifth higher than the previous fiscal year's $5.8 billion in transit fees, and the highest figure ever recorded.
Between July 2021 and June 2022 -- Egypt's fiscal year -- some 1.32 billion tons of cargo were shipped through the canal, Suez Canal Authority (SCA) chief Osama Rabie said.
Earlier this year, the SCA reported the canal's highest annual revenue for a calendar year, netting $6.3 billion dollars in 2021, despite the coronavirus pandemic and a six-day blockage by giant cargo ship the Ever Given.
In April, the waterway recorded its highest-ever monthly revenue of $629 million, despite the rise in oil prices due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"Global crises have proven the importance of the Suez Canal to ensuring the sustainability of global supply chains," Rabie said Monday.
The SCA has hiked passage tolls for transiting vessels, including fuel tankers, twice this year.
Connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, the canal accounts for roughly 10 percent of global maritime trade.
It is also a source of much-needed foreign currency for Egypt, which is battling crippling inflation and a currency devaluation.
