It also breaks down the tanker segment into three distinct segments, establishes a new segment for container\/breakbulk, and incorporates the roll-on\/roll-off vessels into the vehicle carrier segment. Once approved, the Panama Canal market segmentation scheme will include the following segments: full container, reefer, dry bulk, passenger, vehicle carrier and ro-ro, tanker, chemical tanker, LPG, general cargo and others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price Proposal<\/strong><br \/>\nEffective July 1, 2012, the ACP proposes to increase the tolls for the following segments: general cargo, container\/break bulk (new segment), dry bulk, tanker (redefined segment), chemical tanker (new segment), LPG (new segment), vehicle carrier and ro-ro (merged segment), and the segment known as others. The remaining segments will not be adjusted at this time. Additionally, there will be changes to tolls applicable to small vessels based on vessel length, to incorporate adjustments not previously considered.<br \/>\n&#8220;This proposal continues to align the Panama Canal tolls to the value, benefit and quality the route provides, and maintains the competitiveness of the Panama Canal&#8221;, stated Alberto Alem\u00e1n Zubieta, ACP Administrator\/CEO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consultation period and public hearing<br \/>\n<\/strong>As part of the tolls adjustment process, the ACP has established a consultation period from April 20 &#8211; May 21, 2012, during which the ACP will receive formal written comments, opinions and written requests from interested parties to participate in the public hearing. The public hearing will be held in Panama City, Panama, in the ACP&#8217;s &#8220;Ascanio Arosemena&#8221; auditorium on May 23, 2012.<br \/>\n&#8220;The ACP will continue its dialogue with the industry to develop a pricing structure that meets the needs of our customers &#8211; one that benefits them and Panama&#8221;, added Alem\u00e1n Zubieta.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information, go to\u00a0<a title=\"http:\/\/www.pancanal.com\/peajes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pancanal.com\/peajes\">http:\/\/www.pancanal.com\/peajes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>About the Panama Canal Authority (ACP)<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>The ACP is the autonomous agency of the Government of Panama in charge of managing, operating and maintaining the Panama Canal.
