Japan’s NYK Line has secured the first transit reservation to cross the expanded Panama Canal.
The waterway’s authority has started taking reservations for neo-panamax vessels sailing through the expanded waterway from 27 June.
The first slot has been given to NYK’s 78,911-cbm Linden Pride (built 2001).
Four additional slots per day will be offered to neo-panamax vessels in light of the upcoming expansion, besides the existing 25 slots of the current canal.
