Panama Canal and Newark what is the connection?

So what does the Panama Canal some 2,154 miles away effect Newark? Well the commission of of Newark Environment believes there is a direct correlation. The Panama Canal expansion project is the largest project at the Canal since its original construction, intended to double the capacity of the Panama Canal by 2016 by creating a new lane of traffic and allowing more and larger ships to transit.
