Disruption and drought in the Panama Canal
We look at the impact of extremely low water levels for shippers and consumers
The important shipping route runs for 82 km through Central America, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
But a long period of dry weather means the water in the canal is very low, reducing the number of boats that can travel though.
We travel to Panama to look at the impact this is having on shipping companies, manufacturers and consumers, and find out what the Panama Shipping Company is trying to do about it.
