Panama Canal Authority Reduces Transit Slots Due to Drought
The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) announced temporary restrictions on its locks starting September 3, 2026, due to lower-than-projected rainfall. Neopanamax locks will operate with nine vessels daily, while Panamax will be limited to 25 vessels, reducing to 23 from September 15. The measure aims to protect water sustainability after the impact of El Niño.
