Customer Advisory: Draft Restrictions in the Panama Canal arising from “El Nino” Weather – Update 6
Further to our advisory of 6th May 2016, the Port of Panama Canal Authority has now advised that increased rainfall in the region has enabled further deferment of the third draft restriction of 11.59m (38.0ft), which was to have been effective on 25th May 2016. The revised date for the draft restriction is 6th June 2016.
G6 service vessels will be following the pre-booking process for canal transits, thus minimizing any scheduling delays. Please be assured that in the event that a vessel delay in Panama does cause the ETA at US and or Canadian Ports to change affecting your cargo availability, that you will advised through our normal email channels of ETA Change advisories, Revised Booking Confirmation, Revised Arrival Notices, and through our web site www.oocl.com
Yours Faithfully,
OOCL Customer Service
