Locks lane outage and Transit Reservation System

Beginning at 1800 hours on Saturday, April 9, 2016, until 0600 hours on Sunday, April 10, 2016, the EAST lane of Gatun Locks will be out of service in order to perform schedule dry chamber work in the upper level and other rehabilitation work on Miter Gate 22.

As a result, and in accordance with the rules governing the Transit Reservation System, Condition 1.a will be in effect on Sunday, April 10, 2016.

Applications for reserved transits while Condition 1.a is in effect will be received beginning at 0900 hours on Thursday, April 7, 2016. The Just-In-Time (JIT) transit slots available for supers, as well as the booking slot available through the auction process, and the slots available for regular vessels less than 300 feet in LOA, will continue to be offered during this period.
