After one of its worst droughts, the Panama Canal is bouncing back. It’s increasing the number of daily transits and bringing back more slots for ships. By early August, there will be 35 daily transits, and another slot will be added in September, reaching 36. This is a big improvement from the low of 22 daily transits during the water crisis. Right now, the draft is at 46 feet, which lets most large vessels pass normally. The water levels in the canal’s Gatun Lake are rising with the rainy season, which should help even more. The Panama Canal Authority is also working on plans for a second reservoir and improving rail options to handle future challenges.
