- Why attend Panama Maritime X?

Panama is at the forefront of some of the most exciting and important changes now impacting the global shipping industry and Panama Maritime X offers the perfect opportunity to discover more.
Panama controls the world’s biggest fleet; it is the main transshipment hub in Latin America; and with the expansion of the Panama Canal, it will earn and fully deserve recognition as one of the greatest maritime centres in the world.
Panama Maritime X offers a world-class conference and exhibition, with the highest level speakers, the leading industry experts and the most influential maritime and government authorities.
The event will focus on the latest regulations, technologies and industry trends and will highlight labour, education and training. It will cover environmental initiatives, financial challenges and operational issues, and will include a unique range of hands-on practical visits to Panama’s burgeoning port facilities, the Panama Canal and its locks, and to the amazing Panama Canal expansion site.
Panama Maritime X will provide unrivalled networking opportunities by introducing the key players in the global shipping industry to Latin America’s exciting and expanding maritime sector.
If you are involved in shipping, in Latin America and beyond, then Panama Maritime X is the one event you must not miss!
