This clip was taken as the Liberian tanker Kent passed through the Miraflores locks of the Panama Canal on Dec. 30, 2009. The locks are 33.5 meters wide, and the Kent is 27 meters wide, so while it looks like somewhat of a tight fit, there were meters to spare. Work on expanding the canal to accommodate post-Panamax traffic is proceeding, and I think I heard that work will be done in 2013. Apologies for the bad sound quality.
