Panama Canal may further reduce ship traffic due to strengthening El Niño
Panama Canal authorities may further reduce ship traffic due to a strengthening El Niño, which has raised concerns about water shortages. The maximum number of ships allowed through the canal will decrease from 34 to 32 starting September 15. The canal's operations depend on freshwater from lakes that are replenished by rainfall, and officials are monitoring conditions closely as they may impose additional restrictions depending on rainfall in the coming months.
