The third set of locks in the Panama Canal, known as the Agua Clara Locks, were finished in 2016. The Agua Clara Locks, which can accommodate larger Post-Panamax ships that are currently typical in international trade, are situated close to the city of Colón on the canal's Atlantic side.
There are a total of 16 gates at the Agua Clara Locks, with 8 on the Atlantic and 8 on the Pacific. Each gate is 33 meters in width, 10 meters in height, and weighs over 4,300 tons. The hydraulically actuated gates are made to withstand the intense water pressure experienced during the locking procedure.
The development of the Panama Canal, which aims to enhance its capacity and allow for larger ships, heavily relies on the Agua Clara Locks. On the Pacific side of the canal, close to the city of Panama, a new set of locks were also built as part of the expansion project.
