Trans-canal

Trans-canal refers to the act of passing through a canal, specifically the Panama Canal. This term is commonly used to describe the transportation of goods or people that go from one ocean to another through the canal. The Panama Canal is a man-made waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, offering a convenient shortcut for ships traveling between the two. The trans-canal journey can take several hours or even days, depending on various factors such as the size and type of vessel, weather conditions, and traffic congestion. Despite its complexities, trans-canal navigation has revolutionized the global shipping industry, allowing for faster and more cost-effective transportation of goods between major ports around the world.
