Panama Canal Welcomes 500th Neopanamax vessel

Six months after the inauguration of the Expanded Panama Canal, the waterway reported its 500th transit of a Neopanamax ship. 

The YM Unity, a containership owned by Greek-based Navios Maritime Partners and bulit by South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries, is travelling from Asia to the US. It made a stop at Colon Container Terminal.

The ACP (Panama Canal Authority) stated, “Its transit marks a significant milestone for the Expanded Canal, which is experiencing a steady flow of traffic including containerships, liquid petroleum gas (LPG) vessels, dry bulk carriers, vehicle carriers, crude product tankers and liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels.”

According to the ACP, a number of major liners have rerouted their service to the canal because of the time savings which the expanded waterway provides.
