Royal Caribbean Group has proposed building a ship repair yard with a 130,000-ton floating dry dock on Panama’s Pacific coast, near Puerto Armuelles. This facility, capable of accommodating large cruise and container ships, aims to address the current lack of suitable repair options in the region, which often forces vessels to travel to Asia for maintenance. The Panamanian president, Jose Raul Mulino, has expressed support for the project, which is expected to create 500 to 800 jobs and enhance Panama’s role as a maritime hub.
