There are many reasons, among which we can mention:
- The geostrategic position of Panama
- Unique logistics and commercial services platform in the region
- Strong air and sea connectivity
- The stable economic, political and environmental environment.
In reference to its environmental stability, Panama is located in theIntertropical Convergence Zone. This Zone is the region that circulates the earth, near the equator, where the collision of winds from the Caribbean and Pacific occurs. The area promotes the creation of the dry and rainy season, instead of the four seasons. This area, together with the Coriolis force, promotes the formation of tropical cyclones. However, this same force diverts the path of the cyclones to the right. Panama is rarely in the path of cyclones due to this effect.
The location is strategic due to its proximity to disaster-prone areas, lower vulnerability to natural phenomena and a logistics platform that, as a whole, provides direct benefits to this cluster such as:
- Greater connectivity to areas in need of help
- Reduction of times and improvements in the deliveries of supplies, equipment and support personnel
- Standardization of processes and optimization of costs
- Promoting continuous innovation in logistics operations and knowledge transfer.
