Panama Canal Successfully Manages Shipping Crisis Through Water Plan and Luck

Reported 7 months ago

The Panama Canal avoided a shipping crisis by carefully managing its water resources and experiencing favorable weather conditions. Initially reducing the number of vessels allowed to cross due to drought, the canal's authority has gradually increased the limit as water levels rose, aiming to return to full capacity in 2025 if rain patterns persist. By implementing water-saving measures and benefiting from a wetter dry season, the canal has alleviated the impact of El Niño, highlighting the increasing influence of extreme weather on global waterways and trade flows.
