Press Room

Hutchison Ports PPC, aware of the responsibility we have with the families of our employees and supporting  the education of theirchildren, we held our yearly event Veranito PPC.

In this initiative, more than 150 children attended, and were able to participate in games, group challenges, enjoy nature and adventure sports. In each of the activities, the importance of values was emphasized, which as integral citizens we must keep in mind; the importance of teamwork, communication and leadership was reinforced; qualities that will serve them for their future tasks.

The last day of the Veranito PPC, children were invited to visit the port and visit each of the areas where their parents work. PPC Volunteers team made presentations during the tour so that the children knew everything that is done in a port in terms of CSR, security, finances, environmental conservation, human resources, operations and much more. For the entire PPC team, it was really gratifying to see the children’s interest in learning more about the place where their parents work and the pride they showed.

With initiatives like this, PPC reaffirms its commitment to promote activities that improve health and well-being of all our employees and their families.

Hutchison Ports PPC, received the delegation of government representatives and shipping companies from the city of Imabari, Japan, who revealed their interest in exchanging experiences and knowing the Panamanian port business.

The representatives of the delegation, who visited the country in order to study the market and look for opportunities to settle in Panamanian territory, were received in PPC by Cristián Ulloa, Administrative and Finance Director; and Larry Yang, Operations Director. During the visit, they experienced the movement of the port operation of the Balboa terminal, considered to be the busiest in the country, turning the company into a port model for other countries in the region.

The Vice Mayor of Imabari, Hiroshi Ochi, was able to demonstrate the significant progress of the company after the business model carried out by the port, with the investment in equipment and improvements of its services focused on the changes resulting from the efforts after the expansion of the Canal, as well as in the industry in general, as the different logistic technologies evolve.

The success achieved by PPC in port operations has been the result of a high degree of labor excellence that the company has promoted since its inception in the country, which has not only positioned it as the number one company in the national industry, but that is supported, day by day, in achieving the goal of converting the Republic of Panama into an important international logistics center, PPC managers shared with international guests.
