To skibe der næsten rører væggene i Miraflores-slusen.
Panamax eller New Panamax er betegnelse for den maksimale størrelse på skibe der kan passere igennem Panamakanalen.
Panama Canal Authority har bestemt målene, som er begrænset af slusekamrenes bredde, kanalens dybde og skibets højde efter opførelsen af broen Puente de las Américas.

Panama Canal Miraflores Locks, looking northwards, towards Miraflores Lake, with the Pedro Miguel locks visible in the background. In the foreground, on the end of the approach wall, a large illuminated arrow can be seen; this rotates to indicate to ships which chamber they are to enter.
