Happy Tuesday!
Did anyone
happen to read the gCaptain Daily Newsletter on February 9, 2026, their
article titled, “Panama Canal Opens Floodgates as Gatun Lake reservoir Hits
Maximum Capacity”? In the article, it spoke on how the Panama Canal Authority
last week had to lower the water from the Gatun Lake Reservoir due to it had
reached 88.93 feet which is a change from the low the reservoir reached back in
2023 of 79.6 feet. Recently, Panama has
had heavy rains which filled the rivers which feed the reservoir, and as a defense
they opened the reservoir to lower the water table to protect communities,
industry, and its assets in the region. 2025 was a successful year for the Panama Canal
and hopefully, this year will, too. We wish them luck with keeping transits moving
through the canal. If you would like to
