1/× There was a time when ships were designed not only thinking on cargo capacity, but also on crew wellbeing. Fully enclosed bridge without sacrificing visibility.

1/× The Panama Canal was not built primarly for trade. It was built by the U.S.A. to be able to move its navy from Pacific to Atlantic vcv in a short period of time. In fact, what determined the size of the locks was not a commercial ship, but a navy one. In those days not many

As a general safety rule in the Panama Canal, the combined speed when meeting a LNG carrier should not exceed 12 kts. We can't do much about the passage distance. Besides the LNG is assigned 2 tugs all the way througout the transit. Good day!

General Cargo SEA DREAM, 118m length, 20m beam, clears Miraflores east lane at the start of her northbound transit. Ships like her hardly find space to transit during the day, which is reserved for larger ones which are restricted to transit during the day

1/× Aboard the CAPE SABLE (Panamax), following the EVER FAST (Neopanamax) in Culebra Cut. Ships the size the Cape Sable were the largest in beam that could transit the Panama Canal 10 years ago. 32m vs 48 (to 51m)
