Hello everyone. Sorry if this is a 'duh' question, but I am wondering, does the Panama Canal really need expansion? The canal operators and supposedly shipping companies say there is congestion, but the locks are idle most nights.
I realize people have an interest in using larger ships than the canal handles. I just wonder if the canal expansion might not be a scam, sort of like the dot com con game that took our economy for a ride not too long ago, except on a smaller scale.
Any comments, suggestions, etc. would be extremely much appreciated.
Best regards,
