the panama canal listed 124 ships waiting as of today. have reduced the number of transits by only a handful of day. it is not like this canal has stopped or is about to stop. it does need perspective. mohammed: when it comes to the ships that regularly transit through the canal, is there a level of concern that exist that would cause any of these companies to try to look for alternative routes that are available and would be viable to them? james: you would have to speak to lars on that one. for the u.s. east coast trade, if you are coming from china, the panama canal is not the only direction. it is someways not a bad thing, that would use up some of that overcapacity in the market. and for areas south -- in southeast asia, it is shorter to go that way. there are alternatives. the south american fruit trades have come through europe. mohammed: there are experts who suggest in order to make the canal a viable -- with more extreme weather conditions, infrastructure changes will be needed. i want to get your perspective on this, how costly

understand that you are able to see at least some of the vessels that would like to enter the panama canal from outside of your office window. i, i want to ask you, uh, where do things stand as of now, what do we know, how many ships are still trying to transit through the canal and are waiting and have wait times been improving? so yes, it is correct that i'm speaking to from panama, and i'm near the the theater water side. yeah. so, so certainly there are no 100 on bucks. it's waving and, and i would say, i don't have an up to date or accurate account right now. but, but we are talking to the canal and it is probably just above a 100 still waiting to to cross to come out and wait, waiting time, cyber quoted for the residents that are impacted. and perhaps that's the point we should talk about, dispenses impacted by the it's reported to be around, but 10 days at the, at the, at the current point in time at large. let me also ask you how much concern is there right now when it comes to the kind of costs uh, this will add up to, for the shipping industry and how much of an impact is that ha

so certainly, i mean, obviously i don't want to speculate on the revenue stream for the panama canal, about that. obviously one could assume that that having less crossings would result in invest revenue for the come out. and i think it's important to, to recognize the. ready the canal, the structuring, gets tired, so i would say, i don't personally expect that'd be, would be made with increasing costs from, from costume to come out anytime soon. and therefore these, for the contain a segment of the markets. and i don't foresee that this will not have any immediate, the cost implications. i think just james, the expressed, i think that it's been sort of trades of shipping. that is a more impact event. that's probably where you could see more impact entered into containerized segments. john paul, one of the questions that is coming up right now is if at some point in the future an alternative canal could be built. another way, perhaps for ships to get from the pacific to the atlantic. now, for a long time, there has been this idea that perhaps there could be a canal built in nicaragua.
