Two new sets of locks have been built, one on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific side. As part of the construction works, the existing water channels have been widened and deepened, and the water of the Gatun Lake has been raised to the maximum operating level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11.818181991577148px; text-align: justify;\">See attached file: Panama Canal Expansion: Bigger Ships, Bigger Risks.pdf<\/p>\n<p style=\"border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #022469;\"><strong>\u5df4\u62ff\u9a6c\u8fd0\u6cb3\u6269\u5efa\uff1a\u8239\u8236\u5927\u578b\u5316\uff0c\u98ce\u9669\u52a0\u5927<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11.818181991577148px; text-align: justify;\">\u5728\u5df4\u62ff\u9a6c\u8fd0\u6cb3\u767e\u5e74\u5e86\u5178\u76842\u5e74\u540e\uff0c2016\u5e746\u670826\u65e5\uff0c\u5df4\u62ff\u9a6c\u6b63\u5728\u7b79\u5907\u7fd8\u9996\u4ee5\u5f85\u7684\u8fd0\u6cb3\u6269\u5efa\u540e\u7684\u518d\u6b21\u901a\u822a\u3002\u8fd9\u6807\u5fd7\u7740\u5386\u65f69\u5e74\uff0c\u8017\u8d44\u7ea652.5\u4ebf\u7f8e\u5143\u7684\u8fd0\u6cb3\u6269\u5efa\u5de5\u7a0b\u7ae3\u5de5\uff0c\u5c3d\u7ba1\u5b9e\u9645\u6570\u5b57\u4e0d\u4e3a\u4eba\u77e5\u3002<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11.818181991577148px; text-align: justify;\">\u6269\u5efa\u540e\u7684\u5df4\u62ff\u9a6c\u8fd0\u6cb3\uff0c\u4ee5\u671f\u901a\u8fc7\u589e\u52a0\u7b2c\u4e09\u5957\u8239\u95f8\uff0c\u4f7f\u822a\u9053\u7684\u901a\u822a\u80fd\u529b\u53ca\u8239\u8236\u8d27\u7269\u88c5\u8f7d\u91cf\u7ffb\u500d\u3002\u5728\u5df4\u62ff\u9a6c\u8fd0\u6cb3\u592a\u5e73\u6d0b\u548c\u5927\u897f\u6d0b\u4e24\u7aef\u65b0\u5efa2\u5957\u8239\u95f8\u3002\u540c\u65f6\uff0c\u62d3\u5bbd\u52a0\u6df1\u73b0\u6709\u822a\u9053\uff0c\u52a0\u901a\u6e56\u6c34\u4f4d\u5df2\u4e0a\u5347\u5230\u6700\u5927\u5de5\u4f5c\u6c34\u4f4d\u3002<\/p>\n<p style=\"border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;\">\u8be6\u7ec6\u4fe1\u606f\u8bf7\u53c2\u9605\u9644\u4ef6\u3002<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;ENG&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;CHN&nbsp;&nbsp; A couple of years after the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal, the country prepares for the opening of the long awaited expanded Canal on 26 June 2016.
