Adjective
Panamax (not comparable)
Of a freight ship: conforming to the regulations concerning maximum permitted beam, length, and draft, allowing it to transit the locks on the Panama Canal.
A ship's cost partly depends on its complexity: a small, general cargo ship will cost $20 million, a Panamax -sized bulk carrier around $35 million, a supertanker around $105 million and a large LNG carrier nearly $200 million. Source: Internet
In 2010, the dredging works in the channel were finished and the Port of Maputo can now handle larger vessels – such as the Panamax vessels – with more cargo. Source: Internet
Only two limits would hinder the largest Panamax ships from entering the Seaway: Ships could be no higher than convert above the water line (air draft) and could have a water draft of no more than convert. Source: Internet
In the 1950s, Seaway designers chose not to build the locks to match the size of ships permitted by the 1914 locks at the Panama Canal (convert, known as the Panamax limit). Source: Internet
The allowed dimensions of ships using these locks increased by 25% in length, 51% in beam, and 26% in draft, as defined by New Panamax metrics. Source: Internet
The New Seawaymax locks would permit a ship convert longer and convert wider than the Panamax ships permitted by the Panama Canal's 1914 locks. Source: Internet
