According to the Panama Canal Authority, the waterway will not restrict vessel transits for the remainder of 2026, despite forecasts of a potential El Niño-driven drought. The canal currently permits 38 ships daily. Demand has risen significantly in recent months as the U.S.-Israel conflict has disrupted alternative shipping routes including the Suez Canal, according to Reuters.
