It is called Panamax.
Panamax is determined principally by the dimensions of the canal's lock chambers, each of which is 110 ft (33.53 m) wide by 1,050 ft (320.04 m) long, and 85 ft (25.91 m) deep. The usable length of each lock chamber is 1,000 ft (304.8 m). The available water depth in the lock chambers varies, but the shallowest depth is at the south sill of the Pedro Miguel Locks and is 41.2 ft (12.56 m) at a Miraflores Lake level of 54 ft 6 in (16.61 m). The height of the Bridge of the Americas at Balboa is the limiting factor on a vessel's overall height. The maximum dimensions allowed for a ship transiting the canal are:[1] * Length: 965 ft (294.13 m) * Beam (width): 106 ft (32.31 m) * Draft: 39.5 ft (12.04 m) in tropical fresh water (the salinity and temperature of water affect its density, and hence how deep a ship will float in the water) * Air draft: 190 ft (57.91 m) measured from the waterline to the vessel's highest point A Panamax cargo ship would typically have a DWT of 65,000-80,000 tonnes and a maximum cargo intake of 52,500 tonnes
On a ship.
Panama receives a fair amount of money from each ship that passes through the canal, which is important to the country.
The first ship to pass through the panama canal offcially was on August 15th, 1914 The first ship to pass through the panama canal unoffcially was on August 3rd, 1914

The Panama canal connect the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. If there was no canal a ship would have to travel all the way around the southern tip of South America.
