This Monday, August 15, we also celebrate 108 years of operation of the Panama Canal, which continues to show its commitment to the country and international trade.
The record figures achieved in recent years, as well as the maintenance of its structures and the preservation of water resources, confirm the efficiency of this interoceanic route.
The Panama Canal has modified international trade, saving time, distances and costs for the maritime transport of finished products and raw materials between different countries, since its inauguration on August 15, 1914 and even more so, with the expansion of its capacity in 2016.
In this way, our Canal connects 180 maritime routes that reach 1,920 ports in 170 countries around the world, and where in the calendar year 2021 2.4% of world maritime trade transited.
