Port Access
Port Panama City is strategically positioned on the Gulf of Mexico and is one of the closest U.S. ports to the Panama Canal. The Port has posted double-digit growth over the past five years and handles a wide variety of cargo. Assets include six berths, 4,200 ft. of deep-water berthing (36’ mean depth), six acres of open storage on site and over 300 acres designated as Foreign Trade Zone 65 (FTZ65). Port Panama City is also equipped with modern loading and unloading facilities for truck, rail, barge, container, RO-RO vessel and deep-water vessel traffic. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is located adjacent to the Port and offers shipment capability via barge to major ports along the Gulf Coast.
