Watch the installation of the gates for the new locks of the Panama Canal successfully began on 17th December on the Atlantic side of the waterway.

Panama canal pilots play a vital role in safe navigation of ships transiting through the canal. However, according to the Panama Canal pilot’s association the major expansion project has rejected the inputs from the very pilots who are responsible for transiting vessels through the locks safely and efficiently.

The third shipment of four gates for the new locks of the Panama Canal Expansion has arrived to the Atlantic entrance of the waterway.
