Panama Revokes 10-Year Secrecy Rule on Port Concessions
The Panama Maritime Authority has overturned a contentious resolution that barred public scrutiny of maritime administrative records and port contracts.
The Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) has officially rescinded a regulatory measure that shielded administrative documentation regarding port concessions and broader maritime-sector processes from public view.
The reversal follows an extraordinary meeting held on 1 September, during which the AMP's Board of Directors agreed to repeal Resolution JD No. 012-2026. The original measure had previously been promulgated via Panama's Official Gazette.
Under the terms of the repealed resolution, public access to information regarding state maritime administrative procedures and port concession agreements had been restricted for up to 10 years.
With the annulment of the resolution, the confidentiality restrictions governing these port concession processes and maritime administrative files have been removed.
