Record El Niño and a Panama Canal that eased: grain freight to Asia, October 2026
Exposed · Supply chain · evidenced · Drought, 2026-10-08
“South Korea’s SK Gas has agreed to pay a record $5.3 million to secure a Panama Canal transit slot for its LPG carrier G. Spirit on Sept. 1, as demand rises and fewer slots are available.” — source, 2026-11-01
The quote shows a Korean importer paying a record auction price for a canal slot during the August–September 2026 restrictions. That cost is the direct expression of the chain for US-to-Asia gas cargoes; whether SK Gas will bid again in a 2027 dry-season squeeze is inferred.
