Recent rainfall leads Panama Canal to postpone depth restrictions
Due to a spate of rainfall, the Panama Canal Authority will postpone depth restrictions that were going to affect larger ships crossing the important waterway. Earlier, the Authority had published measures, scheduled to take effect on 25 June and 9 July, requiring ships to sail at higher depths.
Rains are expected to dump between 70 and 80 mm of precipitation into the Panama Canal
