Panamax are usually built very close to min depth/width of the canal (which acerbates the canal workers)-which is 12.04 meters-39.5 feet and average 39' draft. Handymax average 33' draft.
Though Panamax usually are 60k to 80k tons-w 75k often quoted,so on smaller end of Panamax if 56k.
I would think they have at least 100k tons at port-temeku estimates 151k or more by Mar 17,so hopefully once the shipping begins,a ship could be departing every 2 weeks as pesquero said some time ago.
From Wikipedia min DEPTH of Panama canal:
"In tropical fresh water 39.5 ft (12.04 m). ACP uses the freshwater Gatun Lake as a reference. The salinity and temperature of water affect its density, and hence how deep a ship will float in the water. When the water level in Lake Gatún is low during an exceptionally dry season the maximum permitted draft may be reduced."
