Since Monday 05 August, the Panama Canal is handling 35 daily ship transits, including around ten through the expanded segment operational since mid-2016. This marks a recovery from the drought crisis that affected the canal, the world's only freshwater waterway, which had forced restrictions on vessel passage for a year. EPA/CARLOS LEMOS
