Hey Ron--The intelligence testimony presented at the Senate hearing said the canal was scheduled to close Dec. 31, 1999. The press reports didn't say why or for how long. My "guess" was that the canal authority doesn't want an unremediated ship dead in the water in transit. To determine the "official" reason you'd have to search the written testimony presented by either Jacquelyn Bridgers or Lawrence Gershwin who both spoke for the intelligence community at that hearing...or perhaps those boring Commerce Department folk.

But given what we've read re: the status of shipping (as noted by Cherly in her last post) it's the ships not the canal itself that is the problem.
