We look forward to working alongside the industry to continue offering a reliable and competitive service,&#8221; said Panama Canal Authority Administrator\/CEO Alberto Alem\u00c3\u00a1n Zubieta.<\/p>\n<p>The new tolls were postponed to October 2012 and October 2013, respectively. After considering comments from the industry, the effective dates of the tolls increase were postponed three months to October 2012 and another 17 months to October 2013.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new structure offers price stability to the Panama Canal clients during the next two years, while the approved tolls remain below the value it offers as a safe, reliable and efficient route,&#8221; added Alem\u00c3\u00a1n Zubieta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Segments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new structure increases the number of segments from eight to ten. It also breaks down the tanker segment into three distinct segments and incorporates the roll-on\/roll-off vessels into the vehicle carrier segment. The Panama Canal market segmentation structure includes the following: (1) full container, (2) reefer, (3) dry bulk, (4) passenger, (5) vehicle carrier and ro-ro, (6) tanker, (7) chemical tanker, (8) LPG, (9) general cargo and (10) others. The container\/breakbulk segment, which was included in the original proposal, has been eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>The ACP will increase the tolls for the following segments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>general cargo<\/li>\n<li>dry bulk<\/li>\n<li>tanker<\/li>\n<li>chemical tanker<\/li>\n<li>LPG<\/li>\n<li>vehicle carrier and ro-ro<\/li>\n<li>others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The remaining segments will not be adjusted at this time, nor will the price per TEU for containers carried onboard a vessel. Additionally, there will be changes to tolls applicable to small vessels based on vessel length, to incorporate adjustments not previously considered.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the tolls structure visit:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pancanal.com\/\">\u00a0www.pancanal.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Panama Canal Authority (ACP)<br \/>\n<\/strong>The ACP is the autonomous agency of the Government of Panama in charge of managing, operating and maintaining the Panama Canal.
