I have asked over a dozen educated Panamanians if they are concerned about the opening of the Northwest Passage. I just was on a flight with an American construction engineer and his wife who were returning to Panama to go back to work on their jobs with the canal expansion and I asked them as well if there was much talk amongst their colleagues about this topic.
Nobody I have asked this question to even knew this was a risk. Amazing how clueless the educated public is as well. You would think that this would be at the top of the list of risk assesment here in Panama.
2014 the canal expansion will be complete and the new mega ships will start passage. The first one through will be a huge event here. The older locks were maintained and will continue to be used.
Investors are expecting huge returns on their investment.......
