To promote employment and training of Panamanian seafarers, the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ramsey Greig & Co. Ltd., a maritime agency that is part of the LOGISTEC GROUP, an operator of specialized services for the maritime community and industrial companies in the areas of break-bulk cargo handling and in containers in 60 ports and 90 terminals located in North America.
Ramsey Greig & Co. Ltd. has been a pioneering port agency since 1934, developing expertise in handling passenger ships as well as cargo and tankers. It provides a wide range of maritime services to cruise ships and mega-yachts in ports along the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, Thunder Bay, Churchill, the Northwest Passage, the Arctic, and also in St. Pierre and Miquelon (France).
The MOU was signed during the visit of a Panamanian delegation to Canada, where direct meetings were held with important shipping companies to promote job opportunities for Panamanian officers, cadets and junior personnel.
