1 巴拿马运河的概况巴拿马运河是通过巴拿马地峡沟通大西洋与太平洋的国际通航运河,与苏伊士运河同属具有战略意义的两大世界运河之一。美国东西岸之间的航程可因运河而缩短8000n mile左右;北美东岸(或西岸)的港口与南美另一岸的港口之间的航程可缩短约3500nmile;而美国东部港口与东亚及澳洲之间的航程也可因之而缩短约2000n mile。巴拿马运河位于北纬9°左右,其长度由岸线至岸线计算为64.79km,而由深水线至深水线计算则为81.61km。运河自北部大西洋的加勒比海入口处(利蒙湾内的克利斯托巴尔)起,沿正南向经一条长约12km的河道抵达戛通(Gatun)船闸,通过三级船闸后将水位提高约26m进入戛通湖。运河在戛通湖中的航道为东西向,长约38.6km,航道宽152.44m～304.88m(500ft～1000ft),抵达盖拉特河段的起
1 Overview of the Panama Canal The Panama Canal is an international shipping channel that connects the Atlantic and the Pacific through the Panama Gap and belongs to one of the two strategically important world canals along the Suez Canal. The voyage between the east and west coasts of the United States can be shortened to about 8,000 mile by canal. The voyage between the ports on the east coast of North America (or the West Coast) and the ports on the other side of South America can be shortened by about 3500 nm. In contrast, the ports between eastern United States and East Asia and Australia Between the voyage can also be shortened about 2000n mile. The Panama Canal is located at about 9 ° N latitude and its length from the shoreline to the shoreline is calculated as 64.79km while that from the deep waterline to the deepwater line is 81.61km. From the Caribbean at the North Atlantic Ocean (from Christopher, within Limovan Bay), the canal reaches the Gatun lock at a length of about 12km to the south, raising the water level by about 26m Enter Cannes Lake. The waterway in the lake of Cannes is east-west with a length of 38.6km and a waterway of 152.44m ~ 304.88m (500ft ~ 1000ft)
