Shipping Transit Times and Frequency
Transit Times from Panama to all major ports in the US are a fraction of those from major ports in Australia or New Zealand. Panama also enjoys a vastly superior frequency of available shipping slots compared to the current uncertainty facing shipping schedules from Australia and New Zealand.
PANAMA CANAL
Considered an engineering wonder of the world, the Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans binding all global markets, mainly Asia, Europe, North and South America. In 2021 a total of 287 million tons of goods were registered passing through its waters, an increase of 12% from the previous financial year.
FREE ZONE
The Free Zones in Panama are free of all duties and taxes on merchandise stored within the restricted areas, allowing cost effective and tax-free re-export opportunities. The Colon Free Zone, situated on the Atlantic coast, is the second largest free zone in the world, and the largest in the western hemisphere. Panama Pacifico is located on the Pacific coast entrance of the Panama Canal, an area that has developed an international trade hub and attracts large multinational companies.
Tocumen Airport
Tocumen International Airport is a major hub and, with continued upgrades & expansions, is one of the most advanced airport infrastructures in Latin America. Vital for movement of both cargo and personal between the Americas and the rest of the world, it offers connections from Panama to 40 countries and 90 destinations.
