The Panama Canal will limit daily vessel traffic from September 3, the Pnama Canal Authority said Thursday, as a severe drought fuelled by El Nino depletes water supplies needed to operate the vital trade route. The restrictions will reduce crossings from 36 ships a day to 34, and then to 32 from September 15.
The Panama Canal will reduce shipping volumes from next month because of a drought fuelled by the El Nino phenomenon, the operator of the strategic waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans said Thursday.
