  • Panama Canal faces further transit restrictions PANAMA CITY, PANAMA - SEPTEMBER 01: The South Korean-flagged vessel SK Gas LTD makes history when it crosses the Panama Canal after paying $5.3 million for priority passage, an all-time record caused by the severe drought resulting from the El Nino phenomenon, which is putting further pressure on hydrocarbon prices already strained by the near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz in Panama City, Panama on September 01, 2026. The canal, through which 5% of global maritime trade passes, reduces the number of ships allowed to transit daily from 36 to 34 starting September 3. Twelve days later, that number drops to 32 to conserve the fresh water needed for operations. The interoceanic waterway op Copyright: x2026xAnadoluxDanielxGonzalezx
