The Panama Canal announced last week the successful completion of a transit test of the container ship Tritón, of the Evergreen shipping company, the largest container vessel to transit the expanded Canal since its opening in June 2016.

The neopanamax Triton established a new record of total TEU capacity in the Canal, at 15,313 TEUs. The ship is 51.2 meters wide and 369 meters long, and transited in a north direction from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

“We are excited about the opportunities provided by the Triton transit test,” said Panama Canal Administrator Jorge Luis Quijano.

transited in a north direction from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

If I remember elementary school correctly, Pacific to Atlantic is actually east to west.
