A strategic Atlantic-to-Pacific energy corridor for crude oil, diesel and gasoline.
By connecting Atlantic and Pacific terminals directly across Panama, the Corridor can significantly reduce voyage times for crude shipments.
The Corridor is designed to provide a cost-competitive alternative to long-haul maritime routes and unpredictable Canal transit costs.
Dedicated pipeline capacity reduces exposure to Canal congestion, slot availability, weather disruptions and fluctuating maritime freight costs.
A proposed three-line pipeline system connecting Cristobal on the Atlantic coast with Balboa on the Pacific coast, supported by expanded storage terminals and offshore Single Point Mooring systems.
Designed as a reliable, cost-stable alternative to Canal transit and long-haul Cape routing, the Corridor would move hydrocarbons efficiently across Panama’s Isthmus while supporting regional trade resilience.
The Trans-Panama Corridor consists of three parallel pipelines operating from Cristobal (Atlantic) to Balboa (Pacific).
Expanded crude, diesel and gasoline storage.
Deep-water access for Suezmax-class tankers.
Westbound storage and blending facilities.
Potential VLCC operations.
The Trans-Panama Pipeline Corridor combines fixed-capacity infrastructure, competitive transportation economics and reliable Atlantic-to-Pacific connectivity.
With dedicated crude, diesel and gasoline pipelines, expanded storage terminals and offshore mooring systems, the Corridor has the potential to become a long-term strategic asset for Panama and the wider regional energy market.
