The Panama Canal has launched a consultation process with representatives of the maritime industry to identify potential partners interested in developing port terminals on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the waterway.
Following a process similar to that followed for the introduction of the gas pipeline project, the waterway convened a group of representatives from companies with proven experience in container port operations and container shipping lines.
A market and feasibility study will be conducted for both terminals, following which a general project plan will be developed, which will lead to the initiation of a special process to select a concessionaire.
