The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) has moved to highlight the real congestion numbers at both ends of the waterway amid misleading reports carried in recent days suggesting there are 200 ships waiting.
The ACP has updated daily data which shows that as of today there are 131 ships waiting, some 45% more than the average, but still markedly down from the 165 vessels recorded earlier this month.
The ACP also stated that the average waiting for unbooked transits is between nine and 11 days, down by 50% over reports from 10 days ago.
Dry bulk carriers waiting at either end of the canal have seen the largest reduction in waiting time.
