30 Mar 2026 / Panama Canal, Panama
The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) informs customers of upcoming enhancements to the Transit Reservation (Booking) System. These improvements will minimize deviations during transit execution, enhance certainty in assigned transit dates, and support more effective planning of post-transit logistics…
…Effective April 1, 2026, through July 1, 2026, a trial period will be implemented for booking dates beginning April 5, 2026, up to July 5, 2026. During this period, all vessels must submit the required information by 2359 hours, four days prior to the booking date, Transit in Advance (TIA) slot, or inbound harbor movement date.
For vessels awarded a booking slot through an auction, a TIA slot, or a Last Minute Reservation, when the submission deadline for the required information has already passed… …the vessel will be allowed to submit the required information up to two hours after the allocation time.
Vessels changing from Local Call to Transit or requesting a second transit in the opposite direction under the same visit must comply with the deadlines described above. Vessels with an outbound harbor movement must submit the ready time and tentative draft for the movement no later than 0700 hours, two days prior to the outbound harbor movement date.
Port terminals will be required to submit dock assignments no later than 1200 hours, two days prior to the inbound harbor movement date.
The ACP will monitor the timely submission of the required information by customers and port terminals. During the trial period, this process will be used solely for validation and data collection purposes, with no enforcement measures applied.
The list of requirements is available at https://pancanal.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Lista-de-Requerimientos-para-transito-y-harbor.pdf
