Abstract
Speaker: Alberto Aleman Zubieta, CEO, Panama Canal Authority
Date/Time: March 15, 2012, 12:00pm EDT
Location: MIT Campus, E51-345
Topic: The expansion of the Panama Canal, scheduled to open in 2014, is an incredibly large and complex civil engineering mega-project. While the expansion will certainly improve the economy of Panama as well as shift global shipping patterns, it will also position the Republic as a leading logistics hub in Latin America. This session will address the impact that the expansion will have on the Canal and on the growth of Panama into a logistics and global trade hub.
