05 May 2016 / Panama Canal, Panama
Due to recent rainfall in the Panama Canal watershed, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) has adjusted the Gatun Lake level projections for the following weeks. Based on these new estimates, the third draft restriction announced in Advisory to Shipping A-18-2016, to become effective May 9 2016, will be postponed until May 25, 2016. Therefore, the maximum authorized transit draft will remain at 11.74 metres (38.5 feet) TFW until May 24, 2016.
Effective May 25, 2016, the maximum authorized transit draft will be 11.59 metres (38.0 feet) TFW.
The ACP will continue to monitor the Gatun Lake level in order to adjust draft restrictions and changes will be announced in a timely manner.
