巴拿马运河管理局宣布削减通过运河的船舶数量，以应对厄尔尼诺现象导致的降雨不足。1该措施自9月3日起开始实施，9月15日正式生效，日通过船舶数将从36艘削减至32艘。1这一决定旨在保护水资源储备，维持运河长期运营的可持续性，预计今年的厄尔尼诺现象将特别强劲。1
巴拿马运河每年约有14000艘船舶使用该人工水道，为巴拿马带来约30亿美元的年收入。1类似的限流措施并非首次采取——2023年运河曾因干旱期间实施过相同做法。1据巴拿马气象记录显示，2023年10月是自1950年以来最干燥的10月，凸显了该地区面临的严峻水文挑战。1
The Panama Canal Authority has announced a reduction in daily vessel traffic in response to insufficient rainfall caused by the El Niño phenomenon.1 The number of ships permitted to transit daily will decrease from 36 to 32 vessels, effective September 15, 2024.1 The measure begins implementation on September 3, with the full reduction taking effect on September 15.1
The reduction aims to preserve water resources and ensure the long-term sustainability of the waterway's operations.1 The canal authority anticipates that this year's El Niño event will be particularly intense.1 Similar measures were implemented during the dry period in 2023, when October of that year was recorded as the driest October since 1950.1
The Panama Canal generates approximately $3 billion in annual revenue and serves around 14,000 vessels yearly.1
