O navă care transporta GPL a plătit o sumă record de 5,3 milioane de dolari pentru a putea trece mai repede prin Canalul Panama

A liquefied petroleum gas ship paid a record $5.3 million for expedited passage through the Panama Canal, which faces traffic reductions due to El Nino effects. The Panama Canal Authority announced that starting September 3, the number of vessels allowed daily will decrease due to low water levels in artificial lakes. The South Korean company SK Gas won the auction for priority passage of its vessel, G. Spirit, on September 1. El Nino, a natural climate phenomenon, has led to significant changes in global weather patterns, impacting canal operations.
