Bakalářská práce

Abstract:

In recent years, the Panama Canal has developed limiting factors that have impacted its operational capacity that at the present moment is causing a downgrade in service of the Canal. These limiting factors are the increase of daily transits that has gotten beyond its real capacity and water shortage.This thesis focuses on quantifying estimates of costs and financial benefits, and compares them with the current situation that is taking place almost upon completion of the project. This thesis is written in order for the reader to understand how important is to satisfy the growing demand for the Panamanian route in international trade, and hence highlight the interest of the global community to improve the capacity to handle cargo required to the Panama Canal.
