The Amador Cruise Terminal, constructed by China Harbor Engineering Company, was recently inaugurated in Panama. Panamanian President Laurentino Cortizo attended and presided over the ceremony.

Cortizo said the Amador Cruise Terminal is Panama's first modern cruise homeport in the Pacific region. Its strategic location near the entrance to the Panama Canal will make it an important hub for cruise ship rotations and passenger transfers in the Central and South American region, enhancing Panama's competitive advantage as the "Hub of the Americas".

The new terminal covers an area of 88 hectares and can accommodate large cruise ships carrying up to 5,000 passengers. It is expected to bring significant economic benefits to Panama's hotel, dining, tourism and transportation sectors.
