Ships of Four Nations Carried 80 Percent of Panama Tonnage
Four nations moved about 11.6 million tons through the Panama Canal in the last fiscal year led by the United States with 5,163,000 tons. Britain followed with 8,788,250 tons, while Japan and Norway trailed at 758,600 and 687,880 tons respectively. Government figures credit heightened competition and route efficiency for the surge, noting one third of tonnage was highly competitive and that the canal remains vital for US coast-to-coast and South American trade. The canal system yielded over 27 million dollars in gross revenue, with Panama Railroad and Steamship lines posting multi‑million figures and calls for toll-revenue legislation to bolster income.
