Panama Canal Terminal Plans Advance Towards Prequalification

On 4 November, Reuters reported that the Panama Canal expects to identify prequalified bidders by the end of 2026 for a project to build and operate two container terminals. The terminals form part of an estimated US$8.5 billion expansion programme; the individual terminal contract values have not yet been disclosed. The project creates opportunities for port equipment suppliers, engineering firms, logistics operators and construction contractors. HPC can support supplier research, procurement intelligence and supply-chain planning.
