Panama Canal goes to go greener

Thursday, February 23, 2017


The Panama Canal's drive to go greener may see LNG bunkering emerge as the biggest winner.

Since January 1, the Panama Canal Authority has been running its Environmental Premium Ranking initiative, where ships that reach certain environmental or energy efficiency standards receive extra percentage points per transit, which can improve their position in the waterway's Customer Ranking System.
