More than 200 ships, thought to be carrying goods worth millions of dollars, were stranded on both sides of the Panama Canal due to the limitation imposed due to drought.
According to The Daily Mail newspaper, the authorities limited the number of daily passages in the Panama Canal to 32 until 2 September due to drought, leading to ship traffic congestion.
The stranded ships caused the country to lose an estimated 200 million dollars in revenue.

There are ships waiting for more than 20 days on both sides of the canal, which connects the Atlantic to the Pacific, where the passage limit was imposed due to drought.
It was noted that the canal is experiencing the driest period for more than a century and needs rainwater.
It is thought that millions of dollars worth of goods are transported on the 80-kilometre-long waterway connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific.
It is stated that some companies are looking for alternative routes due to delays in the canal.
According to experts, restrictions that increase transport costs for companies may create more pressure on consumer goods prices.
