Public Protests in several areas of Panama

PANAMA FLASH! Activists affiliated with several unions and organizations have been holding protests and strikes in recent days.

Activists affiliated with several unions and organizations have been holding protests and strikes in recent days. The protesters gathered in several areas in the city and main roads impeding all type of public, private, passengers and cargo transportation mobilization

The labor action is aimed at pressuring the government to meet the demands of several unions and groups, including high cost of living and to demand government action to resolve the growing economic crisis.

We currently do not expect any impact on canal operations or port operations; however, we could notice some impact on the movement of logistics services related to crew changes, delivery of spare parts, provisions, etc. Norton Lilly Panama operations staff will remain attentive to the needs of our principals and vessels under our care, and available as always via 24 hours mobile numbers and Duty Officers.

What condition will be in effect during the Scheduled Lane Outage at Pedro Miguel Locks?

During the scheduled maintenance from May 9th to May 16th, 2023, the West Lane of Pedro Miguel Locks will be temporarily closed. As a result, Condition 2 will be in effect, as per OP NOTICE TO SHIPPING No. N-7-2023. Applications for reserved transit slots during this period will be accepted starting from May 6th, 2023. Please note that the Just-In-Time (JIT) transit slots for supers will be limited to one per direction, while regular vessels will maintain their one per direction allocation. The daily auction slot for supers will be reduced to one, and the daily auction slot for regulars will be suspended. Neopanamax vessels will not be affected by these changes. Due to the reduced canal capacity, demand for transit slots will likely exceed availability. Please plan accordingly as no supers slots will be offered when the 3rd period opens.
