Starting 01 June, the Panama Canal will increase the daily transits of vessels from 31 to 32, a measure following the increase in draft to 45 feet (13.7 meters) due to the arrival of rains and the improvement of water levels in the two artificial freshwater lakes that feed the waterway, affected by a severe drought since last year that forced operations to be restricted.
