I agree that it is strangely edited. But to help you out with the info: both are used on the Panama canal. There are two paralel sets of locks, the older ones and a more modern ones. The more modern ones can fit a bit bigger ships and they are more efficient with water.
This is a wikipedia page about the expansion project (the one which also constructed these more modern locks): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal_expansion_project https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal_expansion_proje...
And here is a video on how one can construct a “water saving lock” from Practical Engineering: https://youtu.be/SBvclVcesEE?si=-sedFyErNPcSJ24X https://youtu.be/SBvclVcesEE?si=-sedFyErNPcSJ24X
- yreg 3y agoPanamax is also a designation for the ships which can fit into the old locks, while Neopanamax means that the ship doesn't fit into the old locks, but fits into the new locks.
