In Panama, the deadline for bids in the tender for the design, construction and operation of the Container Terminal Corozal has been postponed until February 17.

The Panama Canal Authority announced that on February 1 the new deadline for submitting tender proposals is 17 February. The 14-day extension was put forward in order for there to be more time to respond to queries raised by the prequalified companies during approval meetings.

In April 2016 the ACP announced that four companies with experience in port operations had been prequalified.  The four port operators are: APM Terminals B.V. (Holland); Terminal Link (France); PSA International Pte., Ltd (Singapur), and Terminal Investment Limited, S.A. (Holland).
