Reduces transport cost per TEU

Improves productivity and flexibility of carrier

Reduces CO2 emissions per TEU

Improves the competitiveness of the Panama route

Improves carriers network performance

Impacts development of US ports and land infrastructure

IMPLICATIONS OF THE PANAMA CANAL EXPANSION FOR THE LIQUID BULK SEGMENT

The Impact of Canal Expansion on Liquid Bulks


1. Canal expansion will make Ecuador USG crude shipments more competitive vs. alternative sources.

2. The expanded Canal will be the first route of choice for LNG trades between Trinidad-Chile and Peru-Spain and for Shale Gas exports coming out of the U.S. destined to Asia.

OPPORTUNITIES

Diversification and Growth of the Scope of ACPs Commercial Opportunities


There is a close relationship between the Canal and other maritime and logistic activities that have proven to add value to the users of Panama as a Trade Route Many of these activites, in addition to being profitable, can add value to the Canal core business, can best be operated as part of, or in conjunction with Canal operations

Panama Canal Diversification Strategy


Focused on related activities that are profitable and bring value to Canal core business and the Panama route. A new office has been established to perform a study program covering.

Panamas Competitive Advantage


Land availability Sea: All major carriers have weekly services through Panama Sea-air connectivity (for parts)

PANAMA:

Your gateway to Latin America and beyond


Located in the narrowest point of the Americas, the Republic of Panama is the ideal location to consolidate and distribute cargo to consumers around the world. Its integrated transportation and logistics Platform provides easy access to over 470 million consumers in the Americas. Shipments can be easily delivered by air or sea to destinations in Latin America within a few hours or days.

Panamas Competitive Advantage


Land availability Sea: All major carriers have weekly services through Panama Sea-air connectivity (for parts) Air: DHL, UPS, FEDEX, COPA, Avianca Skilled labor to provide value added services (final detailing, refurbishing, reverse logistics, etc.) Panama offers Legal and Financial tax incentives to Multinational Companies that establish their regional headquarters in Panama. Panama offers a place to keep stock near final regional markets.
