SpanishAfter a two-month standoff, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) announced last night that it had reached a “conceptual agreement” with Grupo Unidos por el Canal (GUPC), the consortium building the third set of locks in the channel. Jorge Luis Quijano, the canal administrator, said the agreement “protects the interests of the Panama Canal within the terms of the contract.”

Under the agreement, the 12 remaining gates will be delivered in December this year, and both parties must contribute US$100 million to complete the work. However, Quijano said the agreement is still subject to “documentation, review and final signature.” Regarding outstanding payments to GUPC, the ACP “may lengthen” the extension until 2018 “subject to meeting certain milestones and other conditions.”
