Description
Description | The Canal de Panama is a strategic waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through Central America. It was constructed in the early 20th century by the United States using a lock-based system with a man-made lake to lift ships above sea level. The canal officially opened in 1914 and has since been a vital artery for global trade, especially for routes linking East Asia with the US East Coast and Gulf Coast. The canal was transferred to Panamanian control in 1999 and has undergone significant upgrades, including the Panama Canal expansion project completed in the mid-2010s, which added new wider lock complexes to accommodate larger vessels. |
