Nu bliver Nicaraguakanalen bygget

Den 22. december går arbejdet med at bygge Nicaraguakanalen endelig i gang. Det er The Hong Kong Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Company (HKLND), som står for byggeriet af den 278 kilometer lange kanal.

Det er planen, at kanalen allerede skal åbne i 2020, og den bliver både dybere og bredere end Panamakanalen. Nicaraguas præsident Daniel Ortega siger, at kanalen vil løfte mere end halvdelen af landets befolkning ud af fattigdom. Prisen for kanalen ventes at blive 290 milliarder kroner, og HKLND har fået koncession for de første 50 år af kanalens levetid.

Den nye kanal bliver mellem 230 og 520 meter bred. Den bliver 27,6 meter dyb og 278 kilometer lang, og den kommer til at løbe fra Brito-floden i Stillehavet til Punto Gorda-floden i Det Caribiske Hav. Kritikere siger, at der ikke er gods nok til at retfærdiggøre den store investering i Nicaragua-kanalen. Det er dog et argument for at bygge kanalen, at den vil kunne håndtere de allerstørste containerskibe, hvilket Panamakanalen ikke kan.
