The reduction in precipitation in the Canal watershed during the entire year has forced the ACP to
progressively implement water conservation measures during most of 2023. The current level of Gatun
Lake and the rainfall projection for the remainder of the 2023 rainy season indicate that these measures
will likely continue during the upcoming dry season and into the 2024 rainy season and may possibly force
the ACP to impose additional restrictions.
While these measures are in effect, yachts, and other small craft up to 38.1 m (125 feet) LOA will likely
experience extensive delays. Organized yacht rallies and local tourist vessels shall take this into
consideration and adjust their transit itineraries accordingly, since the special handline lockage will not be
available.
