Liquefied natural gas volumes crossing the Panama Canal could increase fivefold to more than 33 million tons per year by the end of 2020, according to Panama Canal Authority CEO Jorge Quijano. Meanwhile, US LNG exports through the canal could jump from an expected 12.1 million tons this year to roughly 22 million tons in 2019.

Congratulations to the Panama Canal, which survived four rounds to emerge the winner of ASCE's first Landmark Madness. Thanks to everyone who played in the first online tournament of historic infrastructure icons. See the Landmark Madness results.

US liquefied natural gas producers' only hope for faster trips to Asian markets is growing dim as LNG tankers are being left out of the newly expanded Panama Canal in favor of consumer goods vessels. The Panama Canal Authority only allows one LNG tanker per day to pass through the waterway and said it has no plans to award LNG exporters an additional slot until they get better at sticking to timetables -- a challenge that could hinder the US shale gas export boom.
