U.S. marine services firm Isla Maritime has expanded into Panama by partnering with J.A.M. Marine Dockyard to set up a rapid-response salvage and emergency services capability along the Panama Canal and nearby waterways — one of the world’s most vital shipping routes.
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is expected to handle around 12,000 vessel transits in fiscal 2026, making swift incident response essential to prevent major supply chain disruptions.
