Puerto Armuelles
FoilDock Panama's primary facility at Puerto Armuelles is a deep-water Pacific port in Chiriquí Province — strategically positioned for large vessel access, green steel export, and alignment with Panama's free-trade zone infrastructure.
Puerto Armuelles sits at the southern tip of the Chiriquí Province on Panama's Pacific coast, directly on the main Pacific shipping corridor between the Panama Canal and South America. The port offers natural deep-water access capable of accommodating large merchant vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers at end-of-life.
The site's position within Panama's free-trade zone framework provides significant advantages for raw material export and equipment import, and aligns with the Government of Panama's strategic industrial development priorities for the Barú region.
FoilDock Panama is implementing the Foil Basin contained dry-dock system at this site — Panama's first fully compliant ship recycling installation under the Hong Kong Convention and EU Ship Recycling Regulation frameworks.
FoilDock Panama's site selection strategy prioritises deep-water access, proximity to major shipping lanes, and alignment with Panama's industrial development zones — ensuring long-term operational viability and regulatory support.
