The Seanews news portal reports that the increase in precipitation in the canal basin has raised the level of Lake Gatun above normal for this time of year. As of June 9, the water level was 85.7 feet (approximately 26.1 m). Therefore, the Panama Canal Authority has increased the maximum permitted draft for vessels of the Neopanamax class.
