Panamax - Trade and Freight Panamax vessels are tankers with a deadweight between 50,000 and 74,999 tonnes. Originally named as a result of being the largest vessels able to transit the Panama Canal, panamaxes can carry clean or dirty cargoes, depending on the vessel or trade route. They transport, for example, Arabian Gulf exports to Asia and product trade between North Europe and the Mediterranean. Related Links if available: © OECD/IEA 2009. All rights reserved. |
