巴拿马运河发现,尽管预计吨位下降,但液化石油气和货物流量不断上升,增加了收入。 The Panama Canal sees rising LPG and cargo traffic boosting revenue despite projected tonnage declines.

巴拿马运河预计液化石油气(液化石油气)和农业商品的转运量会增加,以便在全球贸易放缓的情况下抵消预计的收入下降。 The Panama Canal expects increased transits of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and agricultural commodities to offset projected revenue declines amid slowing global trade. 液化石油气占美国对亚洲出口的份额已经回升到95%以上,从2023-2024年的80%上升到2023-2024年的80%,其驱动力是美国生产和亚洲需求强劲。 LPG’s share of U.S. exports to Asia has rebounded to over 95%, up from 80% in 2023-2024, driven by strong U.S. production and Asian demand. 据运河报告,在2024年9月终了财政年度期间,由于液化石油气和集装箱运输量增加,该运河收入增长了14%,达到57亿美元,过境量增长了19%。 The canal reported a 14% revenue increase to $5.7 billion and a 19% rise in transits during the fiscal year ending September 2024, fueled by higher LPG and container traffic. 尽管由于LNG油轮使用量减少,预计总吨位将下降4 000万公吨,但运河正在扩大基础设施,包括到2030年达到每天200万桶液化石油气管道,到2029年达到2个新港口。 Despite a projected 40 million metric ton drop in total tonnage due to reduced LNG tanker use, the canal is expanding infrastructure, including a 2-million-barrel-per-day LPG pipeline by 2030 and two new ports by 2029. 作为85亿美元投资计划的一部分,一个主要的淡水水库Rio Indio正在按计划于2031年完工。 A major freshwater reservoir, Rio Indio, is on track for completion by 2031 as part of a $8.5 billion investment plan.
