June 26, 2016 will mark a new beginning for the Panama Canal and its mission of providing service to world trade, with the inauguration of its Third Set of Locks. There will be several events during the day, many of which involve the first transit through the new Locks of Agua Clara and Cocoli, of the MV Cosco Shipping Panama.
In order to successfully carry out all the ceremonial activities programmed, but at the same time remain committed to providing a sage and efficient service, a decision has been made to modify the condition for the Transit reservation System for June 26, 2016.
