Panama

LETH has provided agency services in the Panama Canal since 2006, building a strong local presence and serving clients with dedication and expertise. Following Inchcape Shipping Services’ majority investment in LETH in January 2024, Leth Panama – a part of Inchcape Shipping Services now brings all Panama Canal operations fully in-house, ensuring the same high level of service and client focus our partners expect. With a joined vision to offer trustworthy and professional support to shipping companies in the Panama Canal, and with roots firmly planted in Panama since 1914, we have the experience and local network to assist with any request. 

We are in close dialogue with the Panama Canal Authority and port operators to ensure a complete overview from the initial ETA message until the vessel has safely departed the Canal. Our experienced team in Panama, Denmark, Norway, and Singapore work tirelessly 24/7 to avoid any delays, guiding our clients, and safeguarding their interest while in Panamanian waters. 
Being present in all time zones allows us and clients to reap great synergies, as assistance is readily available around the clock whether it concerns arrival limits, costs, booking of slots, auction process etc. 

Apart from being an essential waterway between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, the Panama Canal provides a convenient opportunity to conduct husbandry services while waiting to transit. 

We offer a wide range of services:
