Panama Canal

• Container shipping · importance 5
  Major interoceanic container route; exact route share requires ACP/liner dataset.
• Dry bulk · importance 4

Une métrique n'est pas un flux : un stock est un solde à une date, une capacité un maximum potentiel. Ni l'un ni l'autre ne se compare à un volume réellement écoulé.

• Suez route for selected Asia-US East Coast flows — faisabilité : Medium · pénalité de capacité : Medium · Candidate
  Viable for some Asia–US East Coast O-D pairs; adds transit days/cost and shifts exposure to Suez/Red Sea (unctad_red_sea_panama_disruptions_2024).
• Cape Horn / Strait of Magellan for limited flows — faisabilité : Low · pénalité de capacité : High · Candidate
  Major South-America detour; only marginal flows reroute this way (panama_canal_authority_statistics).
• US landbridge rail for selected containers — faisabilité : Low · pénalité de capacité : High · Candidate
  Intermodal rail absorbs only a small share of canal container flow (unctad_review_maritime_transport_2024).
