🇵🇦Drought-hit Panama Canal to increase shipping slots to 24

The Panama Canal on Friday said it will increase the number of booking slots available in its Panamax and Neopanamax locks, after a severe drought caused one of the world's main maritime trade routes to reduce ship crossings.

From mid-January, the canal authority said in an advisory, it will have 24 transit slots per day, compared to the 18 it had planned in a prior announcement. The additional slots will cover the regulars, supers and neopanamax vessel categories.

The authority said the changes were based on the current and expected levels of the artificial Gatun Lake, which provides the millions of liters (gallons) necessary to operate the waterway.

Slots are prioritized according to highest bid in auction processes, full containers, market and customer rankings.

🗳 🇺🇸 "Efforts to remove Trump from the ballot are underway in several states, with lawsuits filed in at least California, New Mexico, New Hampshire, and Colorado."

🔶️ "In Colorado, the Supreme Court ruled, while Minnesota's Supreme Court dismissed a similar lawsuit."

🔶️ "Additionally, Democratic secretaries of state in swing states like Arizona and Michigan have been skeptical of exerting authority to disqualify Trump, though efforts are being made in some states to remove him on constitutional grounds, specifically related to his role in Jan 6."
