Panama Canal Limits Ship Transits
The article discusses the impact of water shortages on the Panama Canal, where the authorities announced a reduction in the number of ships allowed to transship from 36 to 32 ships per day starting in September. This change is due to a 34% decrease in rainfall compared to the historical average between May and August. This situation occurs amid expectations that the El Niño phenomenon will persist into 2026-2027, increasing the risks of continued drought. With the dry season beginning in January, careful water resource management is essential to ensure the canal's sustainability. The canal relies on a lock system that requires freshwater flows, and this change poses a significant threat to global navigation and economic energy.
