[TAP the link to start video]

This documentary is an 11-minute compilation of the configuration of the new Panama Canal and how it will operate upon completion with the largest vessels in the world transiting through it,  including the elimination of locomotives to pull the vessels through the canal system.

The new operation will use each vessels’ own power to make its own way through the new Panama Canal as well as tugboats from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, as illustrated in this video.  

Watch this new canal system at work.
