⏱️We weren’t joking when we said they shave weeks off vessel transit time through the Panama Canal.
Just last month, our partner agent in Panama, CAPAS, had a vessel arrive on 28th September, with a projected transit date through the Panama Canal set for 12th or 14th October. 🚢 🗓️
CAPAS knew they could do better. Thanks to effective coordination and collaboration between the vessel operators and the agency, the transit date was successfully advanced to 30th September. So, instead of waiting 12-14 days the vessel actually waited only 2 days.
This is yet another example of how our local, committed agents step up for our customers every day.
Get to know CAPAS a bit better:
⚓ Specialist and optimiser of Panama Canal transit forecasts and reservation system
⚓ Provide daily transit prospects and waiting times
⚓ Anticipate problems and their solutions (we love that!)
⚓ STS coordinators
