Panama Canal Moves More Ships
Panama - The Panama Canal
Authority (ACP) set in practice a second
docking station of the route allowing
transit of at least one more ship a day,
informed sources of the institution. The new
facility is located in the Cartagena sector
near the Pedro Miguel locks and demonstrates
efforts to increase the flow of ships.
According to ACP programming the traffic of
ships will move north (Pacific to the
Atlantic) in the morning and change to the
south (Atlantic to Pacific) in the
afternoon.
The locks then allow moving forward towards
the North from the Miraflores and Pedro
Miguel locks in the afternoons.
"Each additional ship increases capacity,
offers our clients better service and saves
costs," pointed out the executive vice
president of operations of ACP, Manuel
Benitez.
"These stations are a real example of the
innovative and creative applications of our
Canal team to solve problems," he added.
Added to this is the increase of a tug fleet
and use of novel systems of rails to
increase daily transit to more than 40. |
