VIDEO: Behind the Scenes at Panama Canal

Have you ever wondered what is going on behind the scenes at the Panama Canal?

This 60 seconds Bosch World Experience video will take you right into the heat of action.

The 77.1 kilometres long Panama Canal, currently undergoing expansion, connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The canal cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a key conduit for international maritime trade.

There are locks at each end to lift ships up to Gatun Lake, an artificial lake created to reduce the amount of excavation work required for the canal, 26 metres above sea level.
