The Panama Canal is one of the world’s most strategic waterways connecting Asia with the East Coast of the Americas but the impact of climate change has seen a cut in the number of daily transits allowed and draught restrictions.

In this latest episode, Marcus Hand Editor of Seatrade Maritime is in conversation with Panama Canal Authority Administrator Ricaurte Vásquez Morales.

The impact of Panama’s drought on the canal is a story that has gone well beyond the shipping press and has captured global media attention, such as the waterway's importance to global trade.

In this episode, you will hear from Ricaurte Vásquez about the measures the Panama Canal Authority has taken to keep the canal operating in the face of freshwater shortages.
