Canal Channel

There is the canal, then there is the channel within the canal. The Spanish word for both canal and channel is canal, so hopefully we do not confuse anyone with this post. And perhaps someone can tell us if there is a Spanish word for "ship channel" or similar.

ACM has advised the teams that, from today until further notice, they should transit the canal in "Zone B" (dark blue in the diagram below) on the southerly side of the canal while dredging and other work continues in "Zone A" (light blue) on the north side.
