Press Room

Panama Ports Company leads its commitment to the health and protection of its collaborators, clients, contractors and authorities, being one of the first ports in the world to use infrared and thermal technology, allowing the measurement of temperature at a large volume when entering the port; the system sends an alert if the staff does not use the mask when entering, reducing the risk of contagion by COVID 19 and other diseases.

The opening ceremony was attended by the leading members of PPC’S four Labor Unions who supported the project from the beginning.

For PPC, the safety, health and integrity of everyone who works within its port facilities come first. This is why it has been Investing in cutting-edge technology to continue operating safely 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, offering service excellence, and generating comprehensive solutions in logistics for our country and the region.

Solidarity is a feeling of unity that moves us to give without expecting to receive anything in return, it is time to provide support to those who need it most.

For Hutchison Ports PPC, leadership and responsibility go hand in hand both inside and outside the company. “Leading Responsibly” is the approach we give to our Social Responsibility initiatives, contributing to improving the quality of life of our people, organization and the communities in which we carry out our operations.

Recently, PPC together with its employees, its Corporate Volunteers “La Cuadrilla Solidaria” and its Chief Executive Officer, Jared Zerbe, organized as a sign of solidarity supports the assembly of bags of food to benefit families from the district of San Miguelito who have been affected in the midst of the pandemic.

The donation of the bags of food was carried out in The Port of Balboa, in the presence of the Mayor of San Miguelito, Héctor Valdés Carrasquilla and his personnel, who in turn are going to distribute them on behalf of Panama Ports to people in the most vulnerable areas of their district.

These initiatives led by PPC’s employees reinforce the values established by the company, such as teamwork and cooperation, reassuring its commitment to continue supporting the efforts and actions of the Ministry of Health and the Government of Panama.

At Hutchison Ports PPC, we continue to apply the hygiene and protection protocols, complying with all the recommendations of the authorities for the containment and mitigation of COVID-19 and at the same time making efforts to continue working from our port terminals, supporting from our sector with the supply of essential goods that the Panamanian households and the health systems need so much.

We thank our team for all the support and commitment they give every day.

Together we do it for Panama!
