By recognizing that the Panama Canal represent a very important expense on most trade routes, our team concentrates efforts in providing the appropriate advice to our principals by professionally explaining the possible scenarios in terms of expected delays and costs when their vessels arrive to the Panama Canal for transit. This information certainly assists in minimizing costs when using the waterway and maintaining schedule integrity.
