Cargo Operations
Port Panama City’s diversified mix of cargo has grown substantially, setting all-time high cargo records. While much of the country dealt recently with supply chain disruptions, the Port focused on securing additional cargo that would normally move through gateway ports in other states.
With modern port facilities, room to grow, and competitive rates, the Port is an attractive option for breakbulk forest products and other cargo.
The Port easily handles everything from standard containerized cargo to more delicate breakbulk cargo, ensuring the safe and timely movement of goods, including:
- Forest Products
- Copper
- Linerboard
- Wood Pulp
- Steel Plate and Pipe
- Aggregates
- Liquid Bulk
