Panama Canal operating at full capacity

 

Panama Canal Authority (ACP) has confirmed that the waterway is operating at full capacity, maintaining a 50-foot draft throughout the dry season. The update, recently delivered, marks a return to normal operations following prolonged drought-related restrictions in 2023 and early 2024, which had forced the ACP to limit daily transits and reduce draft allowances. The full restoration supports the transit of fully laden container and bulk vessels, improving scheduling reliability across East-West and North-South trades, said a report.
