The Panama Canal reported revenues rose approximately 14.4% in its fiscal year 2025 to $5.7 billion, based on preliminary and unaudited figures, according to Reuters.

The canal also reported that vessel transits increased 19.3% year-on-year to 13,404 during the 12-month period ending September 30.

Container and liquefied petroleum gas segments drove revenue growth, while bulk carrier traffic continued recovering.

Liquefied natural gas volumes fell short of expectations due to global freight market conditions, the statement indicated.

Authorities stated the results position the canal in a strong financial position ahead of planned investments beginning in 2026 to expand capacity and maintain competitiveness.
