Panama Canal has a length of about 80 kilometers and takes about 8-10 hours to complete the trip from one point to another.
Panama Canal's construction takes 10 years by involving around 40,000 workers.
The Panama Canal development project was initiated by France in the 1880s, but was later taken over by the United States in 1904.
The cost of developing Panama Canal reaches around 375 million US dollars.
Panama Canal is one of the most important transportation routes in the world, connecting the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic.
Every year, around 14,000 ships cross Panama Canal.
There are three types of ships that can cross Panama Canal, namely ships that have a length of up to 294 meters, width up to 32 meters, and draft up to 12 meters.
Panama Canal's Irrigation System helps ships to go up and down to a height of about 26 meters through a series of embankments and floodgates.
In 2016, Panama Canal expanded to allow larger and larger ships to pass the path.
Panama Canal was inaugurated on August 15, 1914 and managed by the Panama Canal Authority.
