What is the biggest ship to ever go through the panama canal?

The Panama Canal authority has set certain size limitations for vessels allowed to use the canal. The maximum dimensions are 955 ft length, 106 ft width, 39.5 ft draft (freshwater), and 109 ft height above waterline. Any ships larger than this must apply for prior permission which they will probably not get."Panamax" vessels are ships designed with the Panama canal specifically in mind. These ships are built to the maximum allowable size for the Panama canal and are the largest ships to regularly pass through the canal.The longest ship to ever use the canal was the San Juan Prospector, a 973 foot long oil tanker.The widest ships to ever use the canal were the USS North Carolina and the USS Washington which are just over 108 feet wide.The Panama canal is currently undergoing an expansion, due to be finished in 2014. This expansion will allow the canal to handle much larger ships.

Why are oil tankers not allowed to use the Panama Canal?

In fact oil tankers ARE allowed to use the Panama Canal, just like other ships.However no modern oil tanker is narrow enough to fit in the current Panama Canal, which was built for ships of more than 100 years ago. Ships intended to use the Panama Canal are deliberately designed to be narrow enough to fit.
