The Panama Pacifico Logistics Centre is fully integrated into Maersk’s global logistics network, offering connectivity across ocean, land, and air. With several weekly ocean services, direct routes from Asia, and cross-border trucking into Central America, the site is positioned to serve as a regional nerve centre for supply chains.

A Hub Built for Speed, Scale, and Strategy
The logistics centre offers direct access to the Pan-American Highway, airports, and ports on the Pacific. The site is also linked to the Panama Canal Railway, a 76-kilometer rail corridor running alongside the Panama Canal, providing fast and efficient movement between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Additionally, Maersk Air Cargo Services provide routing through Panama City’s Tocumen International Airport, connecting Latin America with global markets.
On the distribution side, the facility enables freight optimization through full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) services, with direct shipping to distribution centres, retailers, and wholesalers, as well as the possibility for cross-border distribution.
Panama is not just a stopover, it’s a launchpad. This facility gives our customers the power to turn Panama into a strategic hub for transshipment, distribution, and growth. With our Panama Pacifico facility, companies can centralize inventory in one location, streamline customs, and serve multiple markets without the complexity of managing separate warehouses. This hub gives businesses the speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency they need to grow across Latin America.
As Special Economic Zone, Panama Pacifico offers duty and sales tax exemptions, customs processes, and the flexibility to handle both nationalized and non-nationalized cargo. Goods stored here retain their country-of-origin status, and there are no time limits on storage, making it ideal for companies that need agility and control. Maersk acts as the importer of record, simplifying compliance and enabling customers to focus on growing their business.
