La Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP) suspends temporarily Panama Canal Transits

La Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP) suspends temporarily Panama Canal Transits due to extremely high water levels because of prolonged heavy rains in the area. The strong currents of the Chagres river could affect ships in the area of Gamboa and therefore the temporary halt to all ship transits.

See also this report here from BBC News: Traffic through the Panama Canal is suspended for the first time in more than 20 years because of heavy rain.
