Panama Canal Neopanamax Locks Reach 31,000 Transits in Ten Years
The Panama Canal commemorated the tenth anniversary of its expansion, inaugurated in 2016, with the Neopanamax locks surpassing 31,000 transits since their entry into operation. According to the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), during the first eight months of fiscal year 2026, 8,593 transits were recorded, of which 2,385 corresponded to Neopanamax vessels. Operations of the expanded locks currently generate over 50% of the Canal's revenue, boosted by the recovery of water levels in Gatun and Alhajuela lakes.
