Expansion of the Panama Canal - Third Set of Locks, Panama - Webuild Project

The Expansion of the Panama Canal, Third set of Locks involves the construction of a new channel which, complementing the existing one, will allow the transit of larger ships, increasing commercial traffic in response to developments and the continued expansion of the shipping transport market. The construction of the third set of locks for the canal will allow the passage of larger ships known as Post Panamax with a capacity of up to 12,600 TEUs, a length of 366 metres, a width of 49 metres and a draught of 15 metres. The project involves the construction of two triple step locks: one triple step lock on the Atlantic side and one of the Pacific side. These locks will allow ships to be raised from the level of the oceans to the Gatun Lake (midway between the two oceans) and vice versa, in less than two hours.
