Panama Canal
Enhanced Draft and Daily Transits
The Panama Canal will boost its daily transits from 32 to 33 starting July 11, with an additional
increase to 34 transits by July 22.
These adjustments respond to current and projected water levels in Gatun Lake and the upcoming rainy season in the Panama Canal Watershed. Effective June 15, the draft will rise from 45 to 46 feet.
“The Panama Canal said it will continue to monitor weather conditions daily to implement the necessary operational actions in the event of increased rainfall in its watershed,” Kontos added (Kontos, 2024).
| Current Scenario | Effective July 11 | Effective July 22 | |
| Panamax Locks | 24 | 24 | 25 |
| Neopanamax Locks | 8 | 9 | 9 |
| Total | 32 | 33 | 34 |
