Panama Canal Turns 100 Amid Growing Pains, Competition
The Panama Canal turns 100 this week. Officially opened in 1914,
the 77-kilometer channel joins the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean at the
isthmus of Panama. It made the world smaller, creating a shortcut for
cargo ships that ply their trade from east and west. But 100 years
later the canal is straining from the demands of expanding global
trade. It may also be facing some serious competition as it navigates
the next 100 years.
Taking over 30 years to build, tens of thousands of workers - and more than 27 million kilograms of dynamite - it is considered one of the biggest engineering feats of the 20th century.

Aprobada ruta definitiva del Gran Canal Interoceánico de Nicaragua (albergaría el 5% de tráfico internacional de buques)
La ruta escogida para la construcción del Gran Canal Interoceánico cruzaría a Nicaragua de este a oeste, partiendo desde la desembocadura del río Punta Gorda (Caribe) hasta la desembocadura del río Brito, en Rivas (Pacífico).
El canal superará más de tres veces los 77 kilómetros de su análogo en Panamá. Pasará a través del Gran Lago Cocibolca y de sus afluentes, la zona de libre comercio en Brito, por el complejo turístico en San Lorenzo y el aeropuerto en Rivas, uniendo dos puertos en el Pacífico y el Caribe.

Spanish minister in Panama to end US$1.6b canal row
PANAMA CITY: A Spanish cabinet minister launched
mediation efforts in Panama on Monday to resolve a US$1.6 billion
dispute threatening to halt the expansion of the Central American
nation's vital canal.
Public Works Minister Ana Pastor held separate meetings with Panama's president and executives of the Spanish-led consortium that has threatened to stop the project this month unless local authorities pay for the massive cost overruns.
After the two meetings, Pastor said the Grupo Unidos por el Canal (GUPC) consortium wanted to negotiate a way out of the impasse.
"The commitment of GUPC is to resolve everything within the contract and for that reason they will sit down for dialogue," she said.
"We are trying to reach an agreement that will be good for everybody," Pastor said after talks with Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli.
