Panama Canal Prepares to Increase Ship Transits Amid Rainy Season
Due to the recent drought that affected the water levels of the Gatun and Alajuela lakes, the Panama Canal was forced to reduce to 27 the daily transit of ships. However, with the onset of the rainy season, the Panama Canal is now preparing to gradually increase the number of ships passing through the locks. In this respect, it is predicted that the daily transits will gradually increase, approaching the normal capacity of 36 transits by late 2024 or early 2025, if weather conditions permit.
