Comprehensive Ship Agency Services in the Panama Canal & Ports of Panama
PANAMA CANAL TRANSITS
The Panama Canal is a lock-type canal, so it does not employ the convoy system. Each vessel is assigned a transit schedule. In 1983 the Canal adopted an optional transit reservation system with a daily a limited number of payable bookings. Due to the complexity of the reservation system, we encourage you to consult our experts on the convenience and advantages of advance booking.
