You obviously did not read or understand my or pesquero or itmd's etc posts.
The point is not whether ports can accommodate Panamax now-they are looking to the completion of deepening etc of Panama Canal so they can accommodate the new class of Panamax built to new Panama Canal standards-due to the worldwide(except in China and perhaps India)depression the ports want to keep up w the Jones so they don't lose any business.

And dreging of the new terminal does not take years- it was earlier reported by the port to be finished in December and pesquero now indicates will be finished mid Jan,but will not interfere w Handymax shipping. If you are talking about maintenance dredging that is different but is not relevant to the discussion.

Did you see the ship docked next to the off loaded pet coke in pesquero's photo?? Normal Handymax shipping was continuing while dredging works around it. When no ship is at the dock they can concentrate on that area. Not too difficult to figure out.
