10 Apr 2024 / Panama Canal, Panama
With effect from 0001 hours on Tuesday 7 May until 2359 hours on Tuesday 14 May 2024 (8 days), dry chamber maintenance will be performed on the West Lane of Gatun Locks. The East Lane will remain available, but lockages will take additional time. In addition, from 0001 hours on 11 May 11 until 2359 hours on 12 May 2024, the East Lane of Miraflores Locks will also be undergoing maintenance work. Therefore, from 7 to 14 May 2024, the number of booking slots for the Panamax locks will be reduced to 17. Once the maintenance is complete, allowing 24 hours for unforeseeable maintenance delays, the 20 slots for the Panamax locks will be reinstated on 16 May 2024.
With reference to Advisory to Shipping No. A-08-2024 published on 8 March, if the auction for any vessel category closes without interested vessels, this slot may be auctioned to other vessel categories. The criteria that participating vessels must meet to be awarded the slot, including the groups per market segment announced in Advisory to Shipping A-51-2023, will be notified when the auction is published.
With reference to Advisory to Shipping No. A-51-2023, additional transits per day for each vessel category may be added to a particular date to fulfill the daily water consumption quota. These additional slots may be assigned to booked vessels that have already arrived at Canal waters. This measure is a temporary service subject to operational assessment, open to all vessel types based on the arrival date, therefore, it does not represent a transit advancement service.
