Term for a ship which has the appropriate dimensions to be able to pass through the Panama canal. It may not exceed 295m in length, a maximum beam overall of 32,25m and a maximum draught of 13,50m.
a ship whose size allows passage through the Panama canal: maximum length of 295 metres, maximum overall width of 32.25 metres, and maximum draught of 13.50 metres.
those vessels that can transit the Panama Canal because of length, width, and draft
Bulk carrier of 50,000-80,000 dwt. About 80,000 dwt is the maximum for a fully loaded vessel if it is to pass through the Panama Canal, hence the name.
A vessel of approximately 50,000 to 80,000 dwt, of maximum lenght, breadth and draft capable of passing fully loaded through the Panama Canal.
The largest ship that can pass through the Panama Canal with a full load of cargo, normally a ship of about 60,000 - 80,000 dwt. A critical restriction is the beam of the vessel which can be no more than 32.3 m.
Maximum size for transiting the Panama Canal.
Vessel of about 60,000-80,000 dwt. The largest type of vessel being able to pass the Panama Canal.
Ship with maximum dimensions for fitting through the Panama Canal. 1000ft. long, 110ft. wide, 85 ft. deep
A medium size Product Carrier of approximately 50,000 to 80,000 deadweight tons that generally operates on longer routes.
The largest size crude oil tanker that can travel through the Panama Canal (up to 70,000 dead weight tons)
The maximum dimensions and displacement applicable to any ship if wishing to traverse the Panama Canal.
a large ship capable of transiting the Panama Canal; the maximum beam and draught allowed in the canal is approximately 106 feet and 39 feet fresh water respectively - this is equivalent to ship with a deadweight of about 55,000 tons
The largest vessel which can transit the Panama Canal. These vessels have a beam of 32.2m and are usually around 60,000DWT
This tanker ranges in size from 55,000 to 79,999 deadweight tonnes, so named because it is the largest tanker that can transit the Panama Canal fully loaded. Has an average cargo carrying capacity of 0.5 million barrels.
The Panama Canal permits ships no wider than approximately 110 feet - any wider and the ship just won't fit. Ships that squeak under that maximum are often referred to as "Panamax" ships. For a list of Panama Canal cruises
a vessel designed to be just small enough to transit the panama canal.
Ships classified as Panamax are of the maximum dimensions that will fit through the locks of the Panama Canal. This size is determined by the dimensions of the lock chambers, and the depth of the water in the canal. Panamax is a significant factor in the design of cargo ships, with many ships being built to exactly the maximum allowable size.
