Two LPG carriers turned around within miles of the Panama Canal at the weekend as authorities reduced the number of available slots because of falling water levels.
The 82,200-cbm Pyxis Pioneer (built 2019) and 78,900-cbm Sunny Bright (built 2004), both VLGCs, moved away from the canal mouth after the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) reduced the number of slots from 32 to 25 per day.
