twangster Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 During a recent tour in the area they mentioned they also will stop or reduce generating hydroelectric power and switch to generated power. Hopefully the rainy season will kick in soon. To be clear this doesn't impact panamax sized vessels that use the original locks like Royal ships. The draft restrictions impact larger ships using the new locks. WAAAYTOOO and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
