TOUS 4714 Canal de Panama le trafic encore reduit face a la secheresse

Published on 15/09/2026 | 05:31

The Panama Canal will further reduce the number of ships allowed to transit due to the drought exacerbated by the El Niño phenomenon. After a reduction to 32 daily passages starting September 15, the limit will be lowered to 29.5 ships per day beginning in October. This restriction aims to preserve the freshwater reserves essential for the operation of the locks, as the canal handles approximately 5% of global maritime trade.
