Panama Flash! – Panama City – May 30th, 2024
Increase in the Maximum Allowable Draft in the Neopanamax Locks
The arrival of the rainy season in the Canal watershed has prompted the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) to move forward the implementation date of the maximum authorized draft announced in
Advisory to Shipping A-12-2024 and scheduled to become effective on June 15, 2024.
Therefore, based on the present and projected level of Gatun Lake for the following weeks, the maximum authorized draft for vessels transiting the Neopanamax locks will be 13.71 m (45.0 feet) TFW, effective immediately.
