Panamas nye sluser måske for små

En af Panama Kanalens mest erfarne lodser advarer nu om, at kanalens nye slusekamre er bygget for små. Ifølge lodsen kan konsekvensen blive, at transittiden for New Panamax skibe bliver mere end fordoblet.

De nye slusekamre er 427 meter lange og 55 meter brede, mens New Panamax skibe er op til 366 meter lange og 49 meter brede. De nye slusekamre giver dermed nok plads til bugserbåde for og agter, men med kun seks meter frirum i bredden er der ikke plads nok til bugserbåde på siden af New Panamax skibe.

Ifølge kaptajn Jose Claus er det et stort problem, da der ofte blæser en hård vind ved sluserne, hvilket gør det tidskrævende at passere sluserne uden brug af bugserbåde på siderne.

Ifølge Jose Claus kan det betyde, at passage - der er beregnet til at tage halvanden time - i blæsevejr vil tage op til 4 timer, hvilket vil nedbringe antallet af store skibe der kan passere kanalen i løbet af et døgn betydeligt.

Der foreligger endnu ingen kommentar fra kanalmyndighederne til den nye kritik.
