[The Panama Canal @thepanamacanal]

The Interoceanic Energy Corridor is one of the Canal’s most important diversification projects. The project includes a 76-kilometer pipeline and two maritime terminals, designed to move up to 2.5 million barrels of energy products per day between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Its strategic value is that energy products could move across the Isthmus without crossing the locks, expanding Panama’s role as an energy and logistics hub while diversifying Canal revenue sources. The pipeline alone is expected to create many jobs during construction and operations.
