Associated Steamship Agents, S.A. can trace its origins on the Isthmus of Panama back to 1889, when Captain William Andrews opened a Steamship Agency in the city of Colon on the Atlantic side. Today we maintain offices in both Balboa, on the Pacific side, and Cristobal, on the Atlantic side, where our operations departments work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, responding to the needs of our principals from around the world who use the Panama Canal and ports in the Republic of Panama.
In addition to representing many ship owners and operators, Associated Steamship Agents are also the agents for Lloyd’s of London at the Canal and undertake hull and machinery surveys on behalf of underwriters from Europe, the United States and the Far East.
