Addressing the key maritime hub of Piraeus, ABL\u2019s key regional experts shared their insights on key areas of importance for the shipping market&#8217;s of Panama and Brazil. The event highlighted emerging risks and regulatory complexities and ABL&#8217;s local insights onto how to overcome them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The ABL Speakers<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maria Dragoumerli, Country Manager, ABL Greece &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wagner Rodrigues, Regional Director, ABL South America<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jose Alberto Rosas Rodriguez, Country Lead, ABL Panama <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fabio Borda, Naval Architect and Marine and Ocean Engineer, ABL Brazil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Navigational Risks for Vessels Transiting the Panama Canal<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122773\" style=\"width:799px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/people\/jose-alberto-rosas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jos\u00e9 Alberto Rosas<\/a> underscored the operational risks for vessels navigating in the Panama Canal waters and made an introduction about the changes and trends since the Panama Canal expansion. Main contributive factors are mostly related to human factors while most common events are collisions and allisions. In 2016 the Panama Canal transit capacity increased in both the number of transits and the maximum size of the vessels, which has increased the cargo volumes transiting through the Panama Canal by around 50% in comparison to 2016 and has attracted new cargo segments such as LNG vessels.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there has been a slight increase in the frequency of accidents in the Panama Canal transits in recent years as a consequence of operational changes of the expansions, accident rated remail lower than other similar routes worldwide. However, it should be noted that many accidents in the Canal waters occurred during the waiting times of vessels prior to transit or while performing other operations at the anchorages. It\u2019s worth mentioning that there are no official public statistics about these types of incidents.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction of disruption charges for vessels presenting deficiencies during the Panama Canal transit or while navigating Panama Canal waters, may range between USD15,000-250,000 depending on the type and severity of the deficiency was pointed out as a factor to be considered by vessel operators, considering the economical and legal consequences of these cases.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, environmental and climate change risks were addressed, based on the recent experience in the Panama Canal transit capacity after the severe drought in 2023 and 2024. Although it was mentioned that the water levels in the Gatun Lake were recovered in the last months and the Panama Canal Authority has already identified projects for a long-term solution, these are not expected to be fully operational at least until 2030 and therefore it is possible to suffer similar drought impacts due to severe climate events in the coming years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122774\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-south-america-s-maritime-landscape-diverse-risks-and-regulatory-complexities-nbsp\"><strong>South America\u2019s Maritime Landscape: Diverse Risks and Regulatory Complexities<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/people\/wagner-rodrigues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wagner Rodriguez<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/people\/fabio-borda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fabio Borda<\/a> presented an overview of South America\u2019s shipping industry, emphasising Brazil\u2019s critical role. Key highlights included Brazil\u2019s extensive maritime activity-bulk exports (iron ore, grains), crude oil via DP shuttle tankers, offshore shipping and inland river convoys.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They explored Brazil\u2019s complex regulatory framework, blending Navy oversight with environmental and oil agency input, requiring local expertise. Challenges such as the Amazon River hazards (groundings, collisions), weather delays at ports and offshore complexities with subsea installations were discussed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seminar also noted Brazil\u2019s repair facilities up to Panamax-size vessels, though larger ships face infrastructure limits. Success in this market hinges on strategic planning, risk management and a strong understanding of local practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122775\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Brazil\u2019s offshore oil fields introduce unique challenges, including subsea installations and tugboat operations under challenging conditions.
