For the first time in seven years, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) is proposing an increase in tolls for small craft. These modifications are to “take into account the costs, water used to lock these small vessels, and resources associated with the transit service as well as the complexity of accommodating these vessels in the Panamax locks chambers”.
