Market conditions in the Panama Canal remain highly volatile, and for most carriers, securing a transit slot is in practice only possible by taking part in the daily auctions. Panama Analytics is your tool for keeping a close eye on this market — so you always know what's happening and can plan accordingly.
Track the auctions – updated daily All auction results are updated daily and broken down by the three segments relevant to you: Neopanamax, Super, and Regular. For each segment, you can see the latest bids along with the min, median, mean, and max over the past 30 days — giving you a quick read on what it currently takes to secure a slot.
See where the market is heading with the 7-day average Alongside the day-to-day figures, the module shows a rolling 7-day average for each segment. This makes it easy to see whether prices are trending up or down, giving you a stronger basis for deciding whether to act now — or whether it's worth waiting.
Slot checker - Beyond auction data, you have access to our slot checker, where you can see when the next available transit slot will open up. We're working on expanding this feature so you'll soon also be able to see the number of available slots matching your vessel's expected ETA.
Advisories and draft restrictions - We continuously keep the page updated with the latest advisories from the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), including changes to draft restrictions, transit rules, and other developments that could affect your sailing schedules through the canal. As soon as something new is announced, we add it here — so you always have the latest information in one place.
