Abstract

COVID-19 is the most recently discovered infectious disease caused by the coronavirus. Both were unknown before the outbreak broke out in Wuhan (China) in December 2019. This disease began to spread rapidly around the world causing an economic crisis in the main economies of the world. Covid-19 is evidenced in Panama in the month of March, this resulted in the government making the decision to decree an absolute quarantine throughout the country. The container ports of Panama took their sanitary measures to continue operating since they are the central axis of the logistics system together with the Panama Canal. The purpose of this research is to determine the economic, maritime and logistical impact of the container ports of Panama during the first six months of the pandemic in Panama. For the documentary analysis, a literature review was carried out through two phases, a convergent one that consisted of searches in Google Scholar using as keywords: "The container ports of Panama", without time restrictions. The divergent phase consisted of the selection of documents whose titles and summaries were most closely related to conceptions and descriptions of the movement of containerized cargo in container ports. 6 container ports are documented Manzanillo International Terminal, Cristóbal, Colon Container Terminal, Balboa, PSA Panama, Bocas Fruit Company.
