Transit Waiting Times for Panama Canal

 

Non-booked regular sized vessels wishing to transit the Panama Canal face a wait of approximately 5-6 days.

There has been a dramatic increase in the transit backlog as a result of several factors, including heavy arrivals in February/March, averaging 35.8 per day whilst transits average 35.1 transits (approximately 25 panamaxes per day), and extremely high booking utilization (over 97%).
