The Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) invested more than 15 thousand dollars during the first half of 2026 in maintenance, repair, and strengthening of the infrastructure of Puerto Mutis, in the province of Veraguas, as part of a recovery plan aimed at improving the safety, operability, and service capacity of this maritime terminal.
Víctor Zamora, Deputy Director of Ports of the AMP, highlighted that the institution maintains permanent investments in Puerto Mutis and announced that in the coming weeks, reflector lights and navigation aid signaling will be installed for the port's access channel.
The AMP, along with Veraguas authorities, held a meeting with artisanal fishermen, boatmen, tourism operators, and other port users to listen to their concerns and promote initiatives aimed at the sustainable maritime development of the area.
"We are aware that maritime development is built by listening to communities and working together to respond to their needs," said the Deputy Director of Ports.
During the meeting, which was attended by more than 500 people, including residents and fishermen from the area, the institution reiterated its commitment to continue promoting safer, more functional port infrastructures at the service of the communities that drive the region's economy.
Edilsa Marín, a member of the Puerto Mutis Fishermen's Association, highlighted that the meeting was productive as they were able to present the main needs of the sector to the authorities. The community leader acknowledged the work being carried out by the AMP on two docks and at the same time requested the repair of others, which would be of great help in allowing larger vessels to pass.
