Panama Canal Update
Wait times have gone from an average of 15 to 21 days with 150 vessels waiting to transit the canal after a 20% cut instituted last month.  Container ships are being given preference over bulk, and despite the summer rains finally picking up, there is no projected revision to the current restrictions. Authorities estimate that at the current rate, it will take months to get caught up. Surcharges may become more widespread.  Currently, due to the priority being given to container ships, we anticipate that delays will be no more than 1 week for Europe to West Coast shipments.  We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated.
