PANAMA CANAL

live watch

An 82-kilometer lock-elevated waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific. ~14,000 transits per year carrying 3% of global trade, including 5% of US imports. The 2023-2024 drought forced lock-cycle restrictions that cut daily transits by 36% — the first hard demonstration that water levels are now a global supply-chain risk.
