Canal tolls and plans for Panana Canal shipping
The Panay Canal toll plan, backed by the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce and major mainland commercial bodies, aims for free tolls for American shipping. It would reduce costs by avoiding the Cape of Good Hope route and Magellan Straits, with charges based on maintenance and ship distance saved. American fleets, including Hawaiian and other lines, are poised to operate once the canal opens, aided by new and existing vessels and joint services from New York to San Francisco via the Pacific Mail.
