42 years serving the world's oil market

The beginnings of Petroterminal de Panamá (PTP) date back to the late 1970s, when the Alaskan oil production began with large volumes, and there was a need to transport the surplus to the east coast of the United States of America in “ Very Large Crude Carrier ”(VLCC), which could not transit through the Panama Canal.
