巴拿马运河管理局正在开发一个电脑调度和资源管理系统，并称该系统将有助于使每天穿过运河的大船数量上升一倍，获得对苏伊士运河的竞争优势。
The Panama Canal Authority is developing a computerized scheduling and resource management system that it says will help double the number of big ships that can travel through the canal each day, giving it a competitive edge against the Suez Canal. The first phase of the system, commissioned late last year, will be up and running by September, with two more phases to be completed by the end of 2018. The system will be located in the canal's Marine Traffic Control Center and is designed to automate, schedule, and plan all of the moving parts that help a ship move through the canal, including tugs, pilots, deck crew, and locks, said Arnoldo Cano, program manager for renewal processes and core systems at the authority. The system will help increase the number of New Panamax ships that can pass through the canal from an average of five a day now to about 12, Cano said. That will mean the administration can input the size, cargo, and other specifics of a ship seeking to pass through the canal, and the management system will work out which of the locks it should go through, plan a schedule, and let all the players know when and where they need to be.
