A container ship paid $4 million on Monday for a fast pass at the Panama Canal. We had 14 customers, and 30 containers on board. Thank you to ONE for your commitment to on-time performance. Panama's auction calendar is empty for the rest of August. Next slot is September 7. Meanwhile 103 ships are waiting, and one tanker has been out there 33 days. Suddenly $4 million looks like arithmetic. Read more about how this happened, and what it means for your Q4 planning: https://lnkd.in/gjFw-5HW
