ABOUT US
95 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS AT THE PANAMA CANAL
Founded by John Norton in 1841 in the burgeoning international shipping center of New York Harbor, Norton Lilly International has a long-standing reputation of meeting and exceeding the shipping needs of clients around the world as Ship Agents.
Norton Lilly opened offices in the Panama Canal Zone in 1925, and today is the largest and most reliable shipping agency in Panama, representing commercial vessels operating in the Panama Canal and local ports. Maintaining two offices strategically located at the north and south ends of the Panama Canal, we are well positioned to serve the needs of our principals for canal transits as well as cargo operations and vessel requirements at the surrounding ports and anchorage areas.
In addition to our longstanding presence in Panama, we are part of the greater Norton Lilly network with offices throughout North America and the Caribbean (www.nortonlilly.com).
