Panama Canal Suspends Draft Restrictions

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) has suspended the first draft restriction that was scheduled to go into effect September 8, 2015.

Although the level of Gatun Lake is still well below normal levels for this time of the year, and the “El Niño” phenomenon is still present in the region, the amount of rainfall received in the Canal Watershed during the last few days—in addition to the water conservation measures implemented and the works done to deepen the navigational channel—has made it possible for the Panama Canal to suspend the announced restriction.
