02 Mar 2016 / Panama Canal, Panama
As of 0700 hours LT, March 1, 2016, the level of Gatun Lake was 24.77m (81.25 feet) PLD.
Our most recent forecast indicates that the descending trend of the level of Gatun Lake will continue through March and April 2016. Based on these adverse meteorological conditions, it is projected that draft restrictions will most likely be imposed during the second half of April 2016.
If draft restrictions become necessary, the ACP [Panama Cana; Authority) will issue an Advisory to Shipping advising the maximum available draft (TFW) and effective date of implementation. This Advisory will be published at least four to five weeks prior to the implementation date, in order to provide vessels being loaded with sufficient time to comply with this new restriction.
This information is for planning purposes only, as nay draft restrictions will be implemented based on forecast updates and the actual level of Gatun Lake.
