Panama Canal Route Change Notice.pdf

Dear Valued Customers,

Panama Canal Authority has announced new management rules and draft restrictions, as to cope with the historical drought caused by climate, and to limit the number of daily vessel transits, which has led to a significant drop of the number of container vessels passing through the Canal.

In order to secure the stability of our service, COSCO Shipping hereby would like to temporarily alternate route for several voyages, from Panama Canal to the Suez Canal, to avoid unforeseen serious delay:

List of Voyages:

In future, COSCO Shipping will continuously evaluate the traffic of each service route, make necessary optimization adjustments voyage by voyage, and keep you informed at the earliest time possible.

Please kindly adjust your booking plan and delivery arrangements accordingly, and please pay attention to our future announcements of schedule adjustments. Should  you have any question, please contact our sales representatives at local.

Thank you for your kind understanding and continuous support.
