PSA Panama International Terminal, Maritime terminal at Pacific entrance of Panama Canal, Panama
PSA Panama International Terminal is a container port with multiple deep-water berths at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. The facility features modern container cranes and is designed to handle large oceangoing vessels.
The facility sits on the grounds of the former Rodman Naval Station, which was built in 1937. It passed to Panama's control in 1999 and was transformed into a commercial container port.
The terminal represents Panama's transformation from military presence to commercial maritime operations, employing many local workers in international trade.
The facility connects directly to major roads and railway networks for efficient cargo transport throughout Central America. This is an active working port, so visitor access is typically limited to designated areas and times.
The terminal manages over 50 vessel arrivals monthly using an integrated digital system that coordinates all container operations in real time. This technology tracks movements between ships and shore with high precision.
