Latin American ports to meet in Panama

Latin American ports to meet in Panama The American Association of Port Authorities said its AAPA Congress of Latin American Ports will be held in Panama City, Panama, June 17-21.
   The conference will “tackle the issue of providing global cargo movement while minimizing bottlenecks in the efficient flow of commerce” with a focus on the Panama Canal expansion.
   “It is timely — even historic — that we are having our Latin American ports conference in Panama this year due to the dramatic developments underway, both in terms of canal expansion and with major port developments on both sides of the canal. These developments will impact global trade for generations to come,” said Kurt Nagle, AAPA’s president and chief executive officer.
