With the introduction of the Panama Canal Authority’s LoTSA 2.5 Program, operators now have an additional tool to improve long‑term transit planning and manage schedule risk more effectively.
Inchcape Shipping Services works closely with customers transiting Panama to translate program requirements into practical operational decisions from understanding application timing to assessing how advance booking strategies can support commercial planning.
Key dates to keep in mind:
- Application deadline: 28 April
- Booking window: 05 July 2026 – 02 January 2027
Our Panama team is available to discuss how LoTSA 2.5 fits within your voyage and port call strategy.
