5:47 You might want to clarify your location of the ports. Uraba is a town well inland, about 180 km from any water. The Pacific port is proposed to be at Jurado and the the Caribbean port at an unspecified location on the Gulf of Uraba, which is nowhere near the town of Uraba.
When I was a kid in the 60s and 70s, I lived in Panama. We used to go to the French Cut, where old rusted French equipment still existed, and go skinny-dipping. The fact that the French engineers planed to build a sea level canal through the continental divide, a series of towering mountains, was just plain crazy. Plus, the geology of the area would’ve made a sea level canal impossible. The American solution; to damn the Chagres river and create a large man-made lake, and then connecting it with locks to the oceans was a brilliant solution. Also, they licked the malaria problem. In the 70s, the US was losing $1 million a year trying to run the canal. Since it’s purpose with strategic and not economic, it was worth the cost. Now Panama is facing the problem of paying for something that was never made to make money. Maybe President Trump will buy it back.
The Mexico canal will be a challenge for Panama, especially if Mexico lowers the transit costs. The only issue would be the shallow approach waters on either side- but can be over come.
The Cartels can't wait for the cargo loads to increase. Not only will it help them distribute their products but also to take whatever they want. There will be containers going missing as more expensive products are shipped through Mexico.
Mexico's Interocean Corridor is a SHIP UNLOAD - TRAIN - SHIP LOAD corridor. There is no way in hell or heaven a ship-railroad-ship corridor will take "only 7 hours".
Yet you can’t identify any! Good news for everyone that the Panama Canal will no longer be the only way to move cargo from the Atlantic to the pacific. Long overdue.
Sea levels are rising. That’s not in question. This video is about a manmade canal which is not an ocean. The earth isn’t flat either unfortunately. Hope I haven’t ruined your day.
The northwest passage is now usable since most of the arctic ice is melting. Hence why China and Russia are attempting to establish their influence in the area and Canada is now establishing more military presence in Northern Canada.
The Panama solution is the use of pumps during the drought years. They are much cheaper and quicker to implement for a few hundred million dollars than building a new canal!
Here's an idea; Mexico for example, rather than take all the cargo off the ship and transport it by train, make the tracks big and wide enough to handle the ship itself and pull the ship from one end to the other..? I think this would be much cheaper and faster.
Why not install fliters and pumps on each side and pump water into the system as needed oceans water levels are rising so it would help with 2 major problems the whole world is effect by. To pay for the system each nation,province , and territory would have to pay a equal amount!!
Drought isn't over...you think climate change just stopped? 🤦♂️ But they are making a new reservoir, which will resolve that...which increases traffic and helps with traffic and fees. And, no, they don't have too much China control...it is PANAMA's, not China! If we want greater engagement, then step up on the port investments...they're presence increased as they've invested more...step up or lose.

China is opening a Mega seaport in Chauncey, Peru, which can handle the newer mega ship too large to pass through the PCZ. Whichever route makes sense to China will be the route. Moreover, China and Nicaragua are out of favor with the USA. So, I'm betting on the Nicaragua Canal
The Mexican "canal" is absurd. For one very significant reason. BREAK BULK. If you have to unload an entire ship's cargo onto a train, and then reload it onto a ship, you've defeated the purpose. Hell, you can run that train track anywhere if you're going to break and reload your cargo. We could just connect Galveston and San Diego and do the same thing. IF YOU WANT TO BREAK BULK.
Guy's an idiot...they're building new reservoir to resolve the water reserve issue. Doing a newer, longer canal will take a TON of money, time, logistics...while the reservoir will be DONE in just a few years. Clueless.
The U.S. and Mexico could build a new shipping canal along their border together at sea level for faster travel from Brownsville, TX to Santa Fe, TX to Tijuana , MX. Bore tunnels through mountains. Make the canal straight, crossing both countries borders. Share its cost, maintenance and operation, and of course the revenues.
I was stationed in Panama and saw the lengths d breadth of the Panama Canal. It was well run and managed.

Can we ship the ship from coast to coast?.
I think you should check your sources before posting your video about Panama. Full of old references and inaccuracies. Try again.
But, but, Al Gore said the oceans are RISING!!!😫
I think you should defend your comment with facts if you are going to talk shit
Or are you just a trump sheep ?

High speed rail is a more practical option over Meglev rail.

It will be hard to replace the Panama canal
Trump on top it. Panama b flying USA flag buy summer
Why not create a rail to transport the entire ship?
The drought is over. And the fees are too high. And the Chinese have too much control. Time for a real change.

Lol, Meglev never really works well.
Ya who's really paying for it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
