Replacing the tracks, therefore, increases the efficiency of transits at the Canal.<\/p>\n<p>The waterway operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and since 1914, more than 8 billion long tons have crossed the Canal with a total of more than 957,600 transits. With service to more than 144 transportation routes across the globe, the Panama Canal continues to provide safe, reliable and efficient passage for all vessels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Panama Canal Authority (ACP)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ACP is the autonomous agency of the Government of Panama in charge of managing, operating and maintaining the Panama Canal.
