However, the first maximum authorized transit draft restriction of 11.89m (39.0 feet) TFW, which was announced in this same Advisory to Shipping, will still be implemented September 8, 2015, and continue until further notice. Vessels arriving after this date with drafts over 11.89m (39.0 feet) TFW may be allowed to transit depending on the actual level of Gatun Lake at the time of transit.
