Postponement of 2nd draft reduction in Neopanamax Locks

04 Apr 2022 / Panama Canal, Panama

Precipitation has continued to fall in the Canal watershed during the past weeks, allowing the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) to postpone once again the draft reduction in the Neopanamax locks announced in Advisory to Shipping A-10-2022.

Therefore, the maximum authorized draft for the Neopanamax locks will remain at 15.09 m (49.5 ft.) TFW, until further notice.

The ACP continues to monitor the level of Gatun Lake in order to announce future draft adjustments in a timely manner.
