Iizinto zamazwe ngamazweithembele kakhulu emigwaqweni emibili ebalulekile yamanzi: i-Suez Canal, eye yathinteka ngenxa yezingxabano, kanye nePanama Canal, okumanje ibhekene namazinga aphansi amanzi ngenxa yezimo zezulu, ezithinta kakhulu imisebenzi yemikhumbi yamazwe ngamazwe.
Ngokwezibikezelo zamanje, nakuba iPanama Canal kulindeleke ukuthi ithole imvula ethile emasontweni azayo, imvula eqhubekayo ingase ingenzeki kuze kube yizinyanga zika-April kuya kuJuni, okungase kubambezele inqubo yokululama.
Umbiko ka-Gibson ubonisa ukuthi imbangela eyinhloko yamazinga aphansi amanzi e-Panama Canal isomiso esibangelwa isenzakalo se-El Niño, esiqale ngekota yesithathu yonyaka odlule futhi kulindeleke ukuthi siqhubeke kwikota yesibili yalo nyaka.Irekhodi eliphansi eminyakeni yamuva lalingo-2016, lapho amazinga amanzi ehla aze afike ku-78.3 amafidi, okuwumphumela wezenzakalo ze-El Niño ezingavamile kakhulu ezilandelanayo.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi amaphuzu amane adlule aphansi emazingeni amanzi e-Gatun Lake aqondane nokuvela kwe-El Niño.Ngakho, kunesizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi inkathi yezimvula kuphela enganciphisa ukucindezela kwamanzi.Ngemuva kokushabalala kwesigameko se-El Niño, kulindeleke ukuthi kube nomcimbi we-La Niña, okungenzeka ukuthi lesi sifunda sizogqashula kumjikelezo wesomiso maphakathi nonyaka ka-2024.
Imithelela yalezi ntuthuko ibalulekile ekuthumeni kwamazwe ngamazwe.Amazinga ancishisiwe amanzi ePanama Canal aphazamise izinhlelo zokuthutha, okuholela ekubambezelekeni kanye nezindleko ezikhulayo.Imikhumbi kuye kwadingeka yehlise umthwalo wayo wempahla, okube nomthelela ekusebenzeni kahle kwezokuthutha kanye namathuba okunyusa amanani kubathengi.
Ngenxa yalezi zimo, kubalulekile ukuthi izinkampani zemikhumbi kanye nababambiqhaza bohwebo bamazwe ngamazwe bazivumelanise namasu abo futhi balindele izinselele ezingaba khona.Ukwengeza, izinyathelo ezisebenzayo kufanele zithathwe ukuze kuncishiswe umthelela wamazinga alinganiselwe amanzi ePanama Canal Ekuthumeleni Kwamazwe Ngamazwe.
Njengoba kwenziwa imizamo yokubhekana nemiphumela yesomiso, ukubambisana phakathi kwe-International Shipping, iziphathimandla zezemvelo, kanye nababambiqhaza abathintekayo kuzobaluleka ekunqandeni lesi sikhathi esiyinseleleizinto zamazwe ngamazwe.
