Chapter 181 Caribbean Sea
The maximum size of the passing ship is stipulated by the authorities: the length of the ship shall not exceed 294.13 meters, the width of the ship shall not exceed 32.31 meters, and the maximum draft shall be 12.04 meters.

新闸是2016年6月26日建立，运河船闸长427米，宽55米，深18.3米。

There are also 6 gates from the north to the south of the main city.It's just not as troublesome as the old gates. You only need to pass through three gates each time, and you can pass through the canal twice, reducing the number of times you need to pass through the gates once.

Because the new lock is larger than the old lock in both length and depth, the volume of passing fishing boats has also increased a lot.

Ships passing through the new locks are restricted to a length of no more than 367.28 meters and a width of no more than 51.25 meters.The draft is 15.24 meters.

In this way, many large ships have to go through the new locks, but fishing boats like Xiang Ye Yuan can pass through both the new locks and the old locks.

In the past few days, Ye Yuan didn't take care of the matters on the ship, but focused on filling in some materials needed to pass through the Panama Canal.

Because it was the first time for Ye Yuan to pass through the Panama Canal, there were a lot of information that needed to be filled in. Fortunately, Ye Yuan's fishing boat had a network system.

Otherwise, these documents must be submitted before sailing, otherwise no matter what reason you have, you will never even think about passing through the Panama Canal.

It took Ye Yuan 2 days to fill in all the required information in the fixed form according to the official format, and then transmit it to the other party through the network.

After filling in these, Ye Yuan began to lead the crew to carry out a thorough cleaning of the "Yushui".

There is no way, these are all strategies that Ye Yuan received online.

Because when a ship passes through the Panama Canal, not only the staff need to board the ship to check some of the equipment on board.

It is also necessary to accompany the fishing boats to sail through the waterway before disembarking. Many fishing boats refused to upload because of the sanitary conditions, which caused the time for the fishing boats to pass through the Panama Canal to be delayed.

These details were introduced in great detail in the guide, and Ye Yuan couldn't help but do so.

Fortunately, Ye Yuan's fishing boats are all in good condition. First of all, the sanitation facilities are in good condition, the cable machines and navigation equipment are working normally, and the information has been prepared in advance.

00001. In terms of sanitation, the key living areas are hygienic, clean and tidy, and the deck is very clean. There is no way Ye Yuan and the others are fishing boats. Not only does the deck smell of fish, but there are also a lot of seabird feces.

00002. Prepare the sanitation facilities for the canal workers, ensure that the facilities are in good condition and clean, hand sanitizer, disinfectant, towels, toilet paper, etc. are ready; the water diversion room is properly prepared, etc.

These Ye Yuan all use new ones to avoid unnecessary troubles.

The strategy also specifically pointed out that pay attention to the pilot ladder and ensure that the auxiliary rope is correctly docked. Wrong or improper docking and placement of the pilot ladder can directly cause ships to refuse to pass and delay the sailing schedule.

It is said that because the pilot ladder is too short, or the auxiliary rope is not properly connected, and the fixing method is incorrect, the ship is required to urgently purchase a new pilot ladder, and it is not allowed to cross the river until it receives a pilot ladder that meets the requirements.

Ye Yuan thinks he has done a good job in the preparation work, today is the day when the workers will upload and check, and several canal workers boarded the "Royal Water".

The leader was a middle-aged man in his 40s, and Ye Yuan led him to check some equipment of the fishing boat.

Ye Yuan found that this person had a gloomy face all the time, as if someone had borrowed money from him and hadn't repaid it. When Ye Yuan led the worker to check the cab, he saw that there was no one around, and directly took a A stack of dollars was handed to the worker.

The worker skillfully put the money into his pocket. During the subsequent inspection, the worker's attitude improved a lot and a smile appeared on his face.

I don't know if it's because the "Royal Water" has no problems, or Ye Yuan's US dollars played a role, and soon the "Royal Water" was notified that it could enter the canal for navigation.

Several inspection workers did not disembark, they were required to follow the fishing boat along the route of the canal.

Ye Yuan told Gong Hongzhuang to use all his skills to satisfy these workers, not to say that Ye Yuan must cook for them when he has nothing to do.

Instead, it usually takes about 10-12 hours to cross the canal.

You can't let these workers go hungry, can you?In that case, there may not necessarily be any problems, and the consequence will be that fishing boats cannot pass through normally.

This is not the result that Ye Yuan wants to see, so for these more than 10 hours you, Ye Yuan has already told the crew not to come out if there is no need, and stay quietly in your rest cabin.

The crew also knew about these things, so everyone stayed in their own rooms cooperatively, except for Gong Hongzhuang and Pei Fei, because one was the chef and the other was the chief engineer, and they were not allowed to rest.

Of course Ding Yi will never rest, otherwise who will drive the fishing boat?
Fortunately, after 11 hours, the fishing boat safely sailed out of Yunheng's last gate, and after enthusiastically seeing off the canal workers, Ye Yuan gave the order to set sail.

It's not that Ye Yuan and these workers have formed a deep friendship for more than 10 hours, but Ye Yuan knows that they will enter the Panama Canal more times in the future, and if they don't make good friends with the workers here relationship, many troublesome things will inevitably appear.

After the fishing boat passed through the Panama Canal, it entered the Caribbean Sea.

The Caribbean Sea is a sea between the western Atlantic Ocean and North and South America.

The total area is 275.4 million square kilometers, and the average water depth is 2491 meters.

It is also the deepest intercontinental sea in the world.

The Caribbean takes its name from the Caribs, the indigenous peoples of the Lesser Antilles.

Much of the Caribbean is located in the tropics and has one of the largest concentrations of coral reefs in the world.

At the same time, the coral reefs in this sea area are famous for their health, vitality and large scale.

The Arawa people landed on the archipelago at the southern tip of the Caribbean Sea in the 1st century BC, and they slowly occupied most of the islands from south to north.

After 1500, the Kalibors gradually expelled the Arawaks. When Columbus came to America, the Arawaks lived in the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas, while the Kalibers occupied the Lesser Antilles. .

Many European countries established colonies here.Even some small European countries have established colonies here.

In the 16th century, the Caribbean Sea became a paradise for pirates.Many pirates were even authorized by their own kings. Many small islands in the Caribbean Sea provided them with good hiding places, and some fleets transporting jewelry were their main targets of attack.

In the Caribbean region, the crust is very unstable, surrounded by deep trenches and volcanic earthquake zones.The seabed is divided into east and west by the broad Jamaica Ridge.

To the west are the Yucatan Basin and the Cayman Trench, separated by a submarine mountain range extending westward from the Sierra Maestra on the island of Cuba.

The peaks of the submarine mountains out of the sea form the islands of Great Cayman and Little Cayman.
