Increase in arrivals and demand for booking slots

There has been a steep increase in Panama Canal ship arrivals expected in the next few days and growing demand for booking slots.

As a result of confirmed locks and culvert outages, and in accordance with the rules governing the Transit Reservation System, Condition 1.a for the Panamax locks will be in effect from Tuesday, June 20, until Friday, June 30. Condition 1.a reduces amount of booking slots for Supers (91' in beam and over up to 107') to 13 and for Regulars (under 91' in beam) to 6 slots. The third period competition would open with only 3 slots for Supers and 2 slots for Regulars per day for the period 20-30 June.
