Cruises to Panama Reveal Growth and Land Options
Blogger, Richard Dietrich, posted last week about the different cruising options to Panama.
If you are interested in discovering the growing area of Panama, Dietrich recommends that Southern Caribbean Cruises have cruises at the ports of Colon and Cristobal, however these cruises do not cross the Canal. For those cruises that do cross the Canal, many deport out of Florida and also allow for day excursions from the ships. Royal Caribbean is also offering a new ship that will be sailing round-trip from Colon to parts of Columbia and Aruba. Dietrich also recommends a smaller ship, called the Pacific Explorer, that offers a 10 day cruise of Costa Rica and Panama.
Many of the excursions that can be explored off of the ship include Old Panama, Casco Viejo, the Ports of Colon and Cristobal, and the Ports of Amador and Balboa. Dietrich recommends these on-shore excursions so that you are able to see the country outside of the Canal

Panama Growth Incredible for Properties
Last week, Martin Torrijos, the Panamanian President had an interview with Bloomberg Television, and stated that Panama’s growth should maintain the same high levels of growth and jobs amid the worldwide economic crisis.
It is expected that Panama’s economy will grow between 6.5% and 8% in 2009 and 9% in 2008. President Torrijos also affirmed that the U.S. recession will not affect the $5.2 billion Panama Canal expansion project.
Torrijos stated “If there’s any country that has an advantage that will make the crisis the least traumatic possible, it’s Panama”.
Panama has signed an agreement with 5 overseas banks that will be financing the Canal’s expansion. The banks include Japan Bank for International Cooperation, European Investment Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank’s International Finance Corp. and Andean Development Corp.
The article has cited that roughly 27% of the world’s container ships are too large for the Canal, which can rise to 37% within the next three years. The Canal is due for completion by 2014.

Historical Panama Crossing - Ship Visiting Panama
It was announced this week that a Russian warship has traversed the Panama Canal for the first time in 60 years.
The Admiral Cabanenko, a 554-foot ship that is part of Russia’s Northern Fleet, entered the port of Colon on Friday. The ship is docked at Rodman, the former US naval base.
The move was seen as part of joint Russian-Venezuelan naval efforts. There were two days of joint exercises with Venezuelan navy vessels. The Russian Ambassador to Panama, Yevgeny Voronin called the exercise a “gesture of friendship” that was aimed at “honing its role in fighting terrorism and drug trafficking”. The Panamanian foreign minister, Samuel Lewis Navarro, commented “as we all know, the Panama Canal is open to all ships in the world”.
The ship’s crossing from the Atlantic to Pacific is the first time a Russian ship has crossed the Canal since WWII in 1944 when four Soviet submarines, that had been repaired, crossed the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At that time, the Canal was under US control and
Russia and the US were allied in an anti-Nazi coalition.
The Admiral Cabanenko is expected to depart later on Tuesday. The Russian crew was expected to take part in soccer and volleyball competitions with the Panamanian navy in the meantime…..

Panama Agreement to Solidify Incredible Growth
It was announced last week that the Panama Canal and the United States’ Miami Port have renewed and ratified a strategic alliance.
The alliance will boost international trade, according to the Panama Canal Authority administrator, Alberto Aleman Zubieta. The agreement was signed by Administrator Zubieta as well as the director of the Miami Port, Hill Johnson. The agreement is signed and ratified each year by both parties.
The Miami Port is an important ally of the Panama Canal. An international trade center, the Miami Port is the closest port to the canal. The agreement will allow for the continued placement of large cargo vessels. In 2007, the Miami Port received over 2 million tons of cargo from Panama. The two ports include operations of over 20 maritime companies that deliver to 100 countries and 250 international ports.
As the maritime industry experiences incredible growth, the alliance between the two organizations becomes increasingly important. The Panama Canal is slated to be finished in 2014, a $5.2 billion U.S. dollar project.
