It is a major traffic jam on one of the world's most important shipping routes.
About 150 vessels are stuck, waiting to pass through the Panama Canal.
The growing backlog follows months of drought in central America.

Will the restrictions lead to higher prices in the shops?
Is climate change a factor?
And is an alternative waterway needed?
