#FossilFuel burning ships carrying fossil fuels need to burn a lot more fossil fuels because a canal dried up by the burning of fossil fuels is in the way of those fossil fuels getting to where they will be burned.
Okay then.
"Liquefied natural gas shippers increasingly are opting to travel up to two weeks longer and almost 6,000 nautical miles further to bypass the #PanamaCanal as transporters of other fuel pay nearly $4 million to jump the long queue."

The “Pinch that stole Christmas”: Brill. "The possibility of a canal bottleneck turning into the “Pinch that stole Christmas” should be a catalyst for buyers, manufacturers and shipping companies to reassess their whole approach to supply and logistics. Centralising manufacturing and piling products into ever-larger ships makes less sense if transport bottlenecks diminish economies of scale." #PanamaCanal https://www.afr.com/companies/transport/climate-change-could-ruin-christmas-as-panama-canal-dries-up-20231206-p5epg4
