| A container-ship navigating through the Panama Canal |
The Panama Canal which is going to fully join the Atlantic ocean with the Pacific Ocean and is a very big thing for international maritime business: trading companies, shipping companies, navy of many different countries, yachting fanatics... The capacity of the Panama-canal will be more then doubled in 2014 with the completion of a very large expansion project. Following eight years of excavation, a 3rd set of locks is added. In 2011, 42% of shipping traffic was unable to pass-through the Panama canal due to size and volume of ships that did go through. Global demand demanded the construction of this new, highly technologically designed passage-way.
