Does New Panama Canal Work?

Marco Rohrer

The long-anticipated Panama Canal expansion opened on June 26, theoretically doubling capacity for the storied waterway.
Much larger vessels will be able to pass through the canal, and it’s expected that 10-20 percent of total cargo volume will shift from West Coast to East Coast ports.
There are some question marks regarding the design, functionality, and safety of

the new locks.
We’ll soon find out if they stand up to heavy daily use.

(Editor’s Note) Much has been written, claims have been made, and corks have popped. But leave it to the logisticians out on the line to sum up the millions of dollars spent in very few words.
