The expanded canal will accommodate 14,000-TEU ships from the 5,000-TEU limit in force today.
Boston Consulting Group and CH Robinson researchers said up to 10 per cent of Asia-US container traffic could be re-routed to US east coast ports by 2020, following the opening.
ACP announced the launch date last week during the inauguration ceremony of the canal`s state-of-the-art Scale Model Manoeuvring Training Facility, which will provide additional hands-on experience to pilots and tugboat captains to operate in the Expanded Panama Canal.
