Starting from November 1, daily transits will be reduced to 31, split between nine through the neopanamax locks and 22 through the panamax locks. The canal has already reduced waiting times and expects draft and transit restrictions to continue throughout the first half of next year.

Panama Canal Transit Restrictions Raise Concerns Over Consumer Goods Prices

The Panama Canal Authority has extended transit restrictions through September 2, limiting the number of vessels authorized to pass through the waterway to a maximum of 32 per day. These restrictions, implemented due to a delayed rainy season, could lead to increased shipping costs and consumer goods prices. The Canal is an important route for moving goods between Asia and the United States, particularly during peak selling seasons. The bottleneck is gradually easing as more slots are opened for non-booked vessels, but the prolonged drought has necessitated the use of navigation channels and locks, resulting in reduced capacity.
