Will Panama Canal weekly transit fall below 85 percent of its 12-month baseline in any PortWatch week from 11 August to 4 September 2026?

What the count means
Weeks below 85 percent of the trailing 12-month baseline, over the 12 PortWatch weeks held at seed time. Comparison is on the unrounded ratio, which matters here: the week that displays as 85 percent is 85.09 percent and is NOT below the threshold, so the count is 1, not the 2 a reader gets from the rounded series. The point is set above the per-week rate because the question asks about any of roughly four weeks.
Recounted from the series just now: 1 of 9, against the frozen 1 of 12. The read is shown as it was frozen; the enumerated observations below are the series as it stands today.

The evidence: every observation the count rests on9 observations, % of baseline
each weekly observation tested below 85% of baseline. An observation marked counted is one below 85% of baseline; those are the 1 that make up the numerator. Every figure below is in % of baseline. The series behind this reaches 2026-08-21.

ResolvesResolves OCCURRED if any PortWatch weekly observation with a week-ending label from 2026-08-11 to 2026-09-04 inclusive shows Panama transit strictly below 85 percent of the trailing 12-month baseline recorded on the chokepoints row. Resolves DID NOT OCCUR if no such week is below 85 percent. Held as PARTIAL if the PortWatch series does not cover 2026-09-04 or the chokepoints row is marked stale. Comparison is on the unrounded ratio.
