Delays at Panama Canal might require diversions — SupplyChainDive.com

Ongoing delays at the Panama Canal may require some businesses to divert shipments of goods:

“The delays at the canal come after a dry spring combined with the looming El Niño weather pattern put the shipping channel on alert of low water levels at nearby Gatun Lake. The Panama Canal consequently placed restrictions in June to save water by maintaining a draft of 44 feet, or 13.41 meters, for the following months or until significant changes in weather occur.“
