Panama's four new lock gates at sea aboard heavy lift ship from Italy
PANAMA Canal Authority (ACP) is expecting the Marshall Islands-flagged heavy lift ship, the Sun Rise, en route from Trieste to deliver four new gates for its third set of locks by mid-June depending on weather conditions.
"This is another important milestone towards the completion of a project that will have an important impact on the international maritime community," said Panama Canal administrator Jorge Luis Quijano.
This is the second shipment of gates being transported to Panama. Four other gates arrived in August 2013.
The Panama Canal Expansion Programme is 74 per cent complete.
