Don't stop! That's against the "ethos" of the entire 911 purchasing experience.

Haha false alarm in our case, the pileup is only for ships that could not be scheduled in advance. I emailed the Panama Canal Authority last night and got a response that and Heritage Leader is scheduled to go through today, Crystal Ray scheduled to go through tomorrow!

I think it needs to be fresh water, not sure why though. Maybe corrosion of lock components, etc?
