Panama Canal to postpone depth restrictions after rain relieved the region
Posted on July 3, 2023 |
The recent rainfall eased the pressure on the canal and provided comfort for traveling ships.
Rainfall follows a prolonged drought that has sunk water levels at the canal to unprecedented levels.
In the next 72 hours, rainfall will drop to a range of 70 mm to 80 mm in the basin of the Panama Canal.
Neo-Panamax ships will be able to maintain their prior depth limit of 44.0 feet, while Panamax ships will be able to operate at a depth of 39.5 feet.
