Transit delays

Due to delays caused by high arrival rates and full utilisation of booking slots for the Panama Canal, non-booked vessels planning to pass through the waterway are urged to secure transit as soon as they have a firm ETA. Vessels are recommended to secure transit booking during the second period (21 to 4 days prior transit). Current average delays are as follows: Supers (large, over 91 feet in beam, transit with restrictions): - Northbound: 5-6 days - Southbound: 5-6 days Regulars (small, under 91 feet in beam, unrestricted transit): - Northbound: 4-5 days - Southbound: 3-4 days For information about operations in the Panama Canal contact GAC-Wilford & McKay at [email protected]
