Bigger ships mean bigger Panama Canal cargo growth

Monday, April 2, 2018


Panama Canal income is forecast to show continued growth in the current fiscal year which ends in September with a projected growth of 27 million tons of cargo transiting the waterway.

The growth is fueled by the neopanamax vessels which have the capacity to transport more merchandise, and more ships carrying grain.
