I am also sorry about this but...
I think all the calculation regarding height limit should be made based on
high tides; it is easier to know if a ship would be able to pass on high
tide or not, when its the "sentsitive" time to let it pass, with it is
higher tides...

There's some discussion of Panama requirements in 'The New New
Thing'.
Not just a lock, but there's a bridge to worry about; passing under
it
at low tide is your height limit.
i would imagine the problem would be at high, not low, tide.
oops. mea culpa.

Sorry to add yet another post to a pointless thread but...
Lloyd was right the first time. Height limit would be based on low tide.
For ships that are near the height limit, waiting a mean time of 6 hours
for the next low tide is not a big deal.
