Final Shipment of Gates for Expanded Panama Canal Delivered
The expansion of the Panama Canal reached a significant milestone Wednesday with the arrival of the final shipment of gates for the new locks. “Today is an historic day for the Panama and the Canal,” said Panama’s President Juan Carlos Varela during a brief ceremony commemorating the arrival of the gates. “We are now in the homestretch to complete the Expansion.” “This is a major milestone for the Panama Canal Expansion since we now have all 16 rolling gates in Panama to be installed in the new locks,” said Panama Canal Administrator Jorge L. Quijano. “With this Expansion, the Panama Canal will remain competitive, opening new markets and possibilities for international trade through the waterway.” The four gates arrived on board the Post-Panamax vessel, MV Xia Zhi Yuan 6, owned by COSCO Ocean Shipping, after a 25-day voyage from the Port of Trieste in Italy. The four gates arrived to the temporary dock located in the Atlantic side, and are expected to be moved into place at the new lock complexes by the end of the year. The final shipment included two gates to be used in the Atlantic and two in the Pacific.
