Press Room

Hutchison Ports PPC presents: “Aventuras para Ti” an educational project that seeks through cartoons to communicate in a simple and fun way to the children of our employees the work and stories that their parents do every day at our terminals in Balboa and Cristóbal and the importance and responsibility that each one has in contributing to the progress of the country.

Our second capsule, “Panama, the bridge of the world” takes us on a journey through our history and the importance that Panama’s geographical position has had as a commercial bridge since its inception. Old Panama, Portobelo, the Camino de Cruces and the Camino Real, the construction of the Canal and the origins of the Ports are some of the narrated topics that you can enjoy in this second capsule.

With this project, PPC wants to transmit its acquired values, sharing in an educational, cultural and social way new concepts related to the industry, by means of a simple language and didactic messages for the reader.

Homeland are so many beautiful things

Our great pride is to be Panamanians and that is why we celebrate it by sharing in a very special way with all our collaborators during Panama’s Patriotic Month.

PPC celebrated its patriotic spirit with all its staff from the Balboa and Cristóbal terminals with folkloric presentations, dances and tasting of typical dishes extolling our traditions. With this activity, PPC thanked each collaborator for giving their best to this great country.

Because at Panama Ports Company, the mission of each employee is to make Panama great.

Congratulations and Long Live Panama!
