Renewable on a two-year basis, the MOU aims to generate new business in tourism and trade for each country&#8217;s continued economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Memorandum of Understanding with the Cura\u00e7ao Ports Authority will strengthen each of our abilities to serve the needs of the international maritime community,&#8221; said Mr. Alem\u00e1n Zubieta. &#8220;Cura\u00e7ao and Panama will work together to promote the route to Cura\u00e7ao via the Canal, fostering cruise business and regional trade of petroleum products in the coming years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the MOU, the ACP and CPA will undertake a series of activities to promote the oceanic exchange of goods including joint advertisements, data interchange and competitive market analyses of the shipping industry. In addition, the ACP and CPA will share information on their latest advancements, such as modernization efforts and personnel training programs. The agreement demonstrates each organization&#8217;s commitment to meet increasing levels of trade. As the Panama Canal continues its Expansion Program, Cura\u00e7ao is working toward increasing capacity to meet the needs of its customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With direct links to major markets and telecommunications infrastructure, the Port of Willemstad &#8211; Cura\u00e7ao&#8217;s largest port &#8211; is at the center of the CPA&#8217;s capital improvement plan. We now look forward to the opportunities this MOU will bring for both entities, as we constantly work to enhance our services,&#8221; said Mr. L\u00f3pez Ram\u00edrez, general managing director of CPA. &#8220;One of the Caribbean&#8217;s most developed and organized ports, Cura\u00e7ao continues to maximize its strategic location, offering the region&#8217;s largest dry dock, modern cruise terminals and a state-of-the-art mega cruise facility,&#8221; said Mr. Agust\u00edn Diaz, managing director of CPA.<\/p>\n<p>Slated for completion in 2014, the Panama Canal expansion project will build a new lane of traffic along the Panama Canal through the construction of a new set of locks, which will double capacity and allow more traffic and longer, wider ships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Cura\u00e7ao Ports Authority (CPA)<\/strong><br \/>\nSince 1981, the CPA, a limited liability company whose main shareholder is the island government of Cura\u00e7ao, has managed all of Cura\u00e7ao&#8217;s ports. Located in the Southern Caribbean, Cura\u00e7ao boasts several deepwater ports, most of them sheltered inlets, and a natural harbor. CPA is a landlord port authority, owning infrastructure and most of the superstructure of the ports, while the facilities are leased out to private operators. The CPA is the driving force behind the development of the port, providing services, managing its property, equipment and marketing, and upgrading its facilities. The CPA also collects port tariffs, including harbor dues, wharfage, pilotage and cruise passenger fees. CPA is a shareholder of the Cura\u00e7ao Towage Company (KTK) for tug services in Cura\u00e7ao and abroad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Panama Canal Authority (ACP)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ACP is the autonomous agency of the Government of Panama in charge of managing, operating and maintaining the Panama Canal.
