Specifically, the ACP will calculate container segment tolls with a slight price adjustment to the capacity charge, and an additional new charge that would apply to the number of loaded containers aboard the vessel at the time of transit.<\/p>\n<p>The newly approved pricing structure includes one amendment to the original proposal, which delays the implementation of the reefer segment increase on the portion applicable to the PC\/UMS tons, from January 2011 to April 2011.\u00a0All other segment pricing modifications will go into effect in January.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During the past few months we have talked with industry representatives, shipping lines, including government representatives from countries that benefit from the Panama Canal. We have listened to their feedback and have made adjustments to our pricing structure accordingly. For instance, we selected the tolls implementation date of January 2011 to respond to industry requests of a moratorium on increases in 2010. Also, in response to requests made during the consultation, we have postponed the implementation of the PC\/UMS tolls for reefers to April 1, 2011,&#8221; said ACP Administrator\/CEO Alberto Alem\u00e1n Zubieta.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since the beginning, we have been committed to an open and transparent process with regard to the Canal&#8217;s pricing structure. We are focused on providing the safest, most reliable and efficient service for our customers, and the new pricing structure approved by the Cabinet Council reflects this commitment,&#8221; Mr. Aleman further added.<\/p>\n<p>The ACP officially announced its plans to restructure the Canal&#8217;s pricing April 27. After a 30-day public consultation period, the ACP conducted a public hearing in Panama City, Panama on June 1, allowing interested parties an opportunity to express their views on the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>On the basis of discussions with industry representatives, shipping lines, and government<\/p>\n<p>representatives, as well as the Canal&#8217;s own internal analysis, and in view of the world economic situation, the ACP decided not to proceed with a tolls adjustment in 2010 and set January 1, 2011 as the new date for implementing the tolls for all segments except reefers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Panama Canal Authority<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Panama Canal Authority (ACP) is the autonomous agency of the Government of Panama in charge of managing, operating and maintaining the Panama Canal.
