The Panama Canal stretches 50 miles across the Isthmus of Panama and was opened on August 15, 1914, after a decade of construction that cost over 25,000 lives, mostly from disease. Approximately 14,000 ships transit the canal annually, paying tolls that average around 150,000 dollars per passage. The highest toll ever paid exceeded 1 million dollars. The expanded canal, opened in 2016, added a third set of locks capable of handling New Panamax vessels carrying up to 14,000 TEU containers. The canal generates about 2.5 billion dollars in annual revenue for Panama.
Ship transits occur throughout the day, but the highest volume is between 6 AM and 6 PM Panama Time.
