The administrator of the Panama Canal, Ilya Espino de Marotta, presented at the Houston International Maritime Conference the strategy to keep the canal a benchmark for reliability and customer-focused service.
‘The Panama Canal is here to serve world trade very efficiently. We want to keep operating for the next 100 years,’ she said.
The canal currently operates in near-normal conditions, with 33 daily transits, and is preparing several long-term projects to expand the capacity of the interoceanic waterway.
