History
The history of the BLB-Panama Canal port, also known as the Balboa port, is intricately linked with the development of the Panama Canal. The port, located on the Pacific side of the canal, was first established by the United States in 1904 to support the construction of the canal.
In 1999, the control of the Panama Canal, and consequently the Balboa port, was transferred from the United States to Panama. Since then, the port has undergone significant expansion and modernization. Today, the BLB-Panama Canal port is one of the busiest ports in Latin America, serving a significant portion of the world's shipping traffic.
