Current Canal transit delays are experiencing three to four days waiting time for non-booked Atlantic arrivals and four to five days for Pacific arrivals. The predicted continued lack of rainfall means that the Canal Authority have to take “water conservation” measures which include slower speeds through certain sections of the canal, especially where there are ongoing dredging operations.
Panama Canal Authority has published attached circular: ADVISORY TO SHIPPING No.A-07-2016.

巴拿马运河吃水限制
目前巴拿马运河仍处于通航延误状态，未有预约的大西洋方向来船需等候三到四天，而太平洋方向来船为四至五天。预计降雨仍持续稀少，运河管理局不得不采取“节水”措施，包括控制运河特定河段尤其是疏浚工程河段的航速。
巴拿马运河管理局发布航运公告第A-07-2016号通函。
