re: #583 Hengineer

Kinda. It allows for traffic in both directions. I’ve been through the Panama Canal, but it was a night crossing while I was on the USNS Zeus. The locks going up and down in elevation were neat but its been widened enough for some fairly large ships. I don’t think Supertankers or carriers can go through yet, though.

Carriers are built to Panamax specifications. Some supertankers these days are unable to go through.
