AtlantaCruiser72 Posted March 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2021 at 118 ft wide this could theoretically allow smaller/midsized cruise ships to transit, provided the air draft and other superstructure elements of the vessel are within the safety limits of the tunnel height. This will be fascinating to see what happens in actual usage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted March 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Having reached out to touch the walls of the Panama Canal locks, I would love to be able to reach out to touch the walls of this tunnel. Makes the Flam railway look so 'last century'. Here is a link to a pdf with much more information about the planned tunnel. http://pianc.no/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Stad-Shipping-Tunnel.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 600 pax max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
