| The Canal is operated 24/7 | This container carrier is now entering the Pacific Ocean. A normal transit takes about 8-10 hours. | 47% of the traffic is Panamax. That leaves about one foot (30 cm) on each side of these big boys. | Just after the San Miguel locks, entering the 'Corte Culebra' (snake's cut) |

On the left, a container carrier leaving the Gatun locks. Above, a colleague on the lake, on its way to the locks on the Pacific side of the Canal. |

 The 'Corte Culebra' with the 'Gaillaird' cut (the hill) on the right side of the Canal. This cut took a lot of dynamite. |
