In the Panama Canal, due to worst drought in a hundred years, about 200 ships stuck

A real traffic jam of more than 200 vessels has formed in the Panama Canal. According to local media, many of them managed to run aground. It happened because of the strongest drought in the region in the last hundred years.

Earlier it became known about the introduction of restrictions by the canal administration until September 2 on the passage of vessels up to 32 units per day. Problems with the capacity of the Panama Canal will lead to an increase in prices for goods, primarily on the American continent. However, they will also affect world trade.
