One of every nine oceangoing ships that transited the Panama Canal during October was a New Panamax vessel too wide to fit through the canal’s old locks.
The canal’s new, larger locks handled 108 ships with beams wider than 107 feet during the month, the Panama Canal Authority reported. That was an average of 3.48 transits a day, or 11.1 percent of the month’s average daily total of 31.39 oceangoing transits.
Oceangoing transits by ships of all sizes during the month totaled 973, compared with 1,047 a year earlier.
