IN BRIEF:
Even before the recent expansion of the Panama Canal is completed, the channel authorities in the process of planning another expansion - this time with locks for container ships with a capacity of up to 18,500 TEU.
14:13 The plans have so far only on tanks stage, but further expansion of the canal will certainly cost more than the $ 5.3 billion the ongoing expansion costs.
The ongoing expansion will next year make it possible to pass the cinnamon container ships of up to 13000-14000 TEU, as against a maximum 5,500 TEU
