PANAMA CITY, Panama, April 27, 2010<\/strong>\u00a0– The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) announces it will not adjust tolls in 2010. On April 26, 2010, the ACP Board of Directors approved a proposal to modify the Panama Canal pricing structure. The adjustments are scheduled for January 2011.<\/p>\n

“The ACP thoroughly analyzed various alternatives and held conversations with the maritime industry for several months, to ensure that the suggested price structure safeguards the competitiveness of the waterway and facilitates the Canal\u00b4s goal of providing a valuable service to world commerce,” said ACP Administrator\/ CEO Alberto Alem\u00e1n Zubieta.<\/p>\n

This proposal modifies the pricing structure for all Canal segments: container, dry bulk, liquid bulk, vehicle carriers, reefers, passenger, general cargo and others. Please refer to the ACP\u00b4s website for details:\u00a0http:\/\/www.pancanal.com\/eng\/anuncios\/tolls\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n

For the container segment, the ACP proposes a change in the way tolls are calculated, with a slight price adjustment to the capacity charge, and an additional new charge that would only apply to the number of loaded containers aboard the vessel at the time of transit.<\/p>\n

In June 2009, the ACP provided temporary measures to help users mitigate the effects of the economic crisis. Once these measures reached their term, they were extended until April 30, 2010 at the industry’s request.<\/p>\n

In view of the current world economic situation, the ACP has decided not to proceed with a tolls adjustment in 2010 and set January 2011 as the new date for implementing the tolls presented in this proposal.<\/p>\n

The multi-million dollar modernization and improvement program has reduced Canal Waters Time from 31.6 hours in 2008 to 23.1 hours in 2009, and currently the average time is 20 hours. These improvements have resulted in faster service and, in some cases have reduced the need for transit reservations providing Canal users substantial savings.<\/p>\n

The Panama Canal expansion project, approved through a national referendum, continues to move forward – on time and within budget – with the construction of a third set of locks at a cost of $5.25 billion.<\/p>\n

Expansion will double the waterway’s capacity by 2014. This project spurs the continuous growth of international trade through the waterway allowing for the transit of larger, wider and deeper draft vessels.\u00a0 In this way, the industry will benefit from economies of scale that will result in lower transportation costs for world commerce.<\/p>\n

The ACP will receive formal written comments and opinions from interested parties until May 27. The public hearing will be held in Panama City, Panama, on June 1, 2010.<\/p>\n
