  • The Impact of the New Panama Canal on Cost-Savings in the Shipping Industry
    the International Journal Volume 13 on Marine Navigation Number 3 http://www.transnav.eu and Safety of Sea Transportation September 2019 DOI: 10.12716/1001.13.03.07 The Impact of the New Panama Canal on Cost-savings in the Shipping Industry D. Zupanovic, L. Grbic & M. Baric University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia ABSTRACT: The passage through the Panama Canal has become the usual waterway for all the ships that can navigate through the Canal. The traffic through the canal is limited by the size of a ship. The need for the expansion of the Canal has emerged due to the development of the global trade and the shipping industry. The new dimensions of the lock‐chambers determine the size of the ships as well. The new generation of ships built to the largest specifications possible to transit the current locks of the canal are called the Post‐Panamax vessels. The maximum dimensions of these ships are 366 meters in length, 49 meters in beam and 15.2 metres in draught. The paper analyses savings in the operational costs on three types of the Post‐Panamax vessels after the Canal expansion. 1 INTRODUCTION The construction of the new and expanded canal enabled the passage of the Post‐Panamax ships. The The construction of the Canal, which lasted for 34 navigation of this category became a standard in the years, introduced the shorter and more efficient route maritime industry and proved the Canal to be of great between the east and west coasts of the United States importance to the world shipping.

  • Synopsis Sheets CANAL DE PANAMA UK
    Synopsis sheets Rivers of the World THE PANAMA CANAL Initiatives pour l’Avenir des Grands Fleuves The Panama Canal 80 km long, the Panama Canal links the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, forming a faster transoceanic route for merchant shipping than by passing via Cape Horn, at the southernmost tip of South America. A strategic hub for the world’s maritime trade, 15,000 ships pass through it every year. In 2016, a huge project of Canal’s enlargement was completed to double its capacity and accommodate the new generation ships, larger and longer, the Post Panamax. Now it has to face new challenges: competing projects are emerging and new shipping routes can be opened that would reduce the supremacy of the Panama Canal. A strategic route The origins Océan Atlantique The first attempt to build the canal dates back to 1880. France entrusted Ferdinand de Lesseps with the responsibility of its design and amassed considerable funds. However, the technical difficulties and above all a major financial scandal revealed in 1889 led to the bankruptcy of the Compagnie Universelle du Canal Inter-océanique du Panamá. The new Panama Canal Company took over but met the same fate, and in 1903 the treaty of Hay- Bunau-Varilla officialised the transfer of the operating and building rights to the canal to the United States. Built under the direction of G.W. Goethals, at the head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the canal opened in 1914 and was finally handed over to Panama in 1999 by virtue of the Torrijos-Carter Treaty.

  • The Role of Panama Canal in Global Shipping
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/2397-3757.htm Role of The role of Panama Canal in Panama Canal global shipping in global shipping Mariner Wang Graduate School of Management, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Beppu, Japan 247 Received 3 July 2017 Revised 7 August 2017 Abstract Accepted 11 August 2017 Purpose – The purpose of this study is to find out the future development of the Panama Canal after opening of the new waterway (third set of locks project), in terms of the change of cargo throughput, further deployment of fleets by the shipping companies and competition for the canal. Design/methodology/approach – The research of this paper is based on an empiric study by collecting the relevant data from annual report of the Panama Canal Authority, publications related to the same field. Graphs pertaining to toll revenue also are made based on statistical data provided by the Panama Canal Authority. Findings – The findings show that the opening of the new waterway of the Panama Canal generates more toll revenue for Panama government by allowing mega-vessels to transit, expediting further economic development of the country largely from behind. At the same time, shipping operators also can enjoy earning more revenue by deploying New Panamax vessels transiting the Canal. Originality/value – Ingenuity in tabling the users of the Panama Canal by incorporating the logo marks of the shipping companies/implication is drawn through empirical analysis to provide the shipping companies and ports authorities concerned with more understanding toward the very significance of the new waterway expansion of the Panama Canal.
