The capacity of the Panama Canal is reduced by 50%, and some ships need to offload over half their cargo. As the worst drought in recorded history lowers the water levels of Gatun Lake, the administrators are forced to lower the number of transits. Is this the beginning of the end for the Panama Canal?

At this time, the Atlantic Ocean has become choked, many ships are standing in line and waiting to cross this 80 kilometer canal and go to the Pacific Ocean. This 80 kilometer route is one of the important shipping routes of the world. The name of this route is

Panama Canal: Nearly 6% of the world’s sea trade passes through this 80 kilometer square point. This canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and every year approximately 13 to 14,000 ships pass through this route between America’s Western Coast and

Europe . This is the shortest way to connect to Africa and the Middle East, but this canal is now in big trouble and if this issue is not resolved then it may affect the economy of Antayas. After all, what has happened to this canal?

Let us know all these facts that can become the cause of destruction . In this video , to know the root cause of this problem, we will have to go back 150 years in France, where

A man named Ferdinand de Les was very famous. Ferdinand was a French diplomat who built the Swiss Canal. Due to this, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea were connected through a short route because before this, foreign

Ships coming from Asia and the Middle East had to cross the whole of Africa and go to Europe and America. The success of the Sous Canal Seeing this, Ferdinand decided that like the Sous Canal, he would build a canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, because

Before the Sous Canal, the ships sailing from the Eastern Coastline of America had to cross South America and reach Western and North America. Had to go which was a journey of about 20000 kilometers for which there was only one solution and that was Panama Canal. Ferdinand Coe

Thought that he would build this canal easily but his guess turned out to be wrong. This entire area was full of mountains and dense forests when Had dynamite been used, landslides would have occurred from the mountains and many workers would have been killed. It

Took 8 years to clear this area and thousands of workers were killed. Due to these uncertainties, the companies also stopped their funding and in 1890 Ferdinand’s company Banker went bankrupt in 1903, as a result, no work was done on this project for the next 14 years. In 1903,

Panama gained independence from Colombia from America and in return gave all this land on lease to America for 100 years. Because the American Government of that time knew that if they wanted to grow economically then the Panama Canal was very important for them. In 1904, American Engineers

Started working on this project again. Instead of breaking the land, they raised these mountains a little. Cut and filled with water to a certain level and then ships were loaded and lowered through locks. Boats were raised and lowered through the lock system

And these locks facilitated the ships to move from one ocean to another. Work started on this project with several thousand workers, steam engines and heavy machines and then after 10 years of continuous hard work, the Panama Canal was opened for ships on April 15, 1914. This artificial canal

Is a masterpiece of engineering. Along with this, two artificial lakes were also built to fill water in this canal. At that time, this was the most expensive project whose cost was approximately 375 million dollars. Today this canal is the most important financial resource of Panama. This

Canal generates 2 billion dollars annually. Fees ranging from $100 to $300,000 are charged from foreign ships passing through this canal, depending on the size and weight of the ships. And now let’s move towards the issue due to which the future of the Panama Canal is in danger. As told earlier, two

Artificial lakes have been created to fill water in the Panama Canal, one is Lake Gaitan and the other is Lake Ella Bala. This lake maintains the water level in Panama Lake. Due to this water, ships are not allowed to sail . With the help of locks, the top and bottom are crossed, but

A lot of water is wasted in this process. Now as long as there were rains, there was no problem in Panama, but due to global warming, weather change has come in Panama. And the weather has been changing a lot since 2016, especially in 2019 due to the falling water level, it

Became very difficult for ships to cross here, which was why the Canal Authority imposed weight restrictions on ships so that they could Do not sink and last year in October 2023, the Canal Authority also imposed a restriction that

Not more than 32 ships will cross in a day and in January 2024 this limit has been increased to 24 ships. There is only one region of all these missiles and That is due to less rains.

Due to this restriction, a long line of containers has formed in front of the canal. This is from the Canal Authority. It is said that this restriction will remain till April until the rainy season starts again because there is a lot of rain in April but despite these restrictions

This problem is not being solved. 2023 Panama Canal was the driest season in the history of Panama. According to the administration, the falling water level will cause a loss of 500 million to 700 million dollars in the coming time, whereas

The authority had kept this estimate only to 200 million dollars. Due to all these issues, timely delivery of products is an issue for the shipping companies. And at the same time the cost of the products is also increasing. To solve this issue, Panama

Authority has also decided that a small dam will be built in the west of this canal which will be connected to Lake Gaitan through an 8 km underground tunnel. It will be connected to the sea so that the water level is maintained, but this project is only in the under discussion phase. Shipping

Companies are now in search of a new route so that international trade can continue. A new route also passes through Greenland, that is why everyone’s eyes are on the Greenland country. The world’s two superpowers, China and America, are keeping an eye on Greenland.

We have already made a detailed video on this, the link of which will also be found in the description. Geo-politically, the whole world is going to change . What do you know about the Panama Canal? Please do let us know in the comment section. See you in a new video. Allah Hafiz.
