Disclaimer / Notes:

1. As of 22 June 2016: Panama Canal Authority has updated its cost structure for the Neopanamax locks with regards to Tugs and Line handling. These figures are not included in the Panama Calculator but will be added at a later stage. Minimum expected charges for Neopanamax vessels with regards to tugs are 17 000 USD and 2 600 USD for Line handlers.
2. All calculations serve as an estimate and the final result upon what toll the vessel is subject to pay is decided by the Panama Canal Authorities only, not Wilhelmsen Ships Service.
3. Currencies are updated daily by data provided by the International Monetary Fund.
4. All costs in the calculator are Panama Canal toll dues only. Agency fees from WSS are handled separately and are quoted from the Transit Desk.
5. The freshwater surcharge has a variable component. The variable component is subject to change and will be comprised between 1 percent of the vessel’s tolls, when Gatun Lake level is above 85.5 feet, to a maximum of 10 percent of the vessel´s tolls when Gatun Lake level falls below 72.0 feet.
6. Tug Assistance fee for Neopanamax Locks depends on the destination parameter. The default destination in the calculator is set to southbound. The final cost is subject to change and depends on the following conditions:
1. Northbound destination (with Bow thrusters): $29,500.00
2. Northbound destination (No Operative B/Thrusters) and beam less than 42.7m (140ft): $30,500
